Trying to place the pound symbol; '£', in a Python plot label had given me a headache.

Simple plt.xlabel(r"$\pounds$") does not seem to work. Suggestion are really appreciated.

Thanks

    What does 'does not work' mean? You have to make sure that you are using a font which has the needed glyphs. – tacaswell Oct 04 '15 at 20:41

Try chr(163)

For future reference, go into your interpreter and type

>>> ord('£')
163

Thank you guys, I just reinstalled LaTeX and seems to work now. That was very weird. I was getting an exception in Tkinter callback only with the pound symbol---spent a couple of hours on that.
