Since doing a server upgrade the currency sign on our website no longer shows £ instead showing �. I am quite inexperienced as a web developer and cannot work out what to do to correct it

It sounds like a character encoding mismatch. It happens if a document for example is saved as ANSI but served as UTF-8 or vice versa. A little mysterious though since £ is among the safe characters that are encoded the same in both character sets.

Could it be a problem with a document that uses an 8-bit encoding being served with a 16-bit encoding, or vice versa? |

Must be that. But since the files were already up there, I guess it must be the server that sends 16-bit. That can hardly be the factory setting. Is this a shared account GMC123 or do you use your own server?

Hi! Can you specify which server you use? Is it your own one?
