Hi All,

I need to display a pound symbol, and & symbol on button texts of a virtual keyboard.when I press them they should display the corresponding text pound symbol and ampersand symbol .

I have a string table(xml file) , for which the button text i am trying to display Pound (sterling) symbol) and for another button i want to display &(ampersand) symbol using utf-8 and C++ and xml.
In the xml string table when I type as follows
<element id="buttonText">&

it is giving the error (illegal syntax ,expecting a valid start name character)

Please let me know how i can use the button text & (ampersand) and pound(sterling symbol)
and when i press those buttons then the corresponding text should be displayed
(pound symbol , &)

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Sudhkar
