newLabel £ and € signs don't work?

Hi guys,

We are using ui.newLabel to display a price field. This works perfect with $, but when £ or € is used it breaks.

Any ideas what the deal is here?

Thanks,

local usd=string.char(36)  
local gbp=string.char(194,163)  
local euro=string.char(226,130,172)  

and set the text of the ui label equal to usd…gbp…euro to see them [import]uid: 6459 topic_id: 3756 reply_id: 11654[/import]
