Ajax not showing £ sign

I am trying to show the British pound sign but it is not working. I have try using the html codes for pound signs still nothing.

I have try this

var price = '£' + parseInt($('#pricetag').text(),10) * qty;

Jquery

<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
    $('#selected').hide();
    $('#button').click(function()
    {
        var qty = $('#Qty').val();
        var price = '£' + parseInt($('#pricetag').text(),10) * qty;


        $('#sprice').text(price);


        $('#selected').slideDown();
    });
});
</script>

Try this,

var price = '&#163;' + parseInt($('#pricetag').text(),10) * qty;
$('#sprice').html(price);

To quote Douglass Crockford via JSLint:

There are characters that are handled inconsistently in browsers, and so must be escaped when placed in strings. \u0000-\u001f \u007f-\u009f \u00ad \u0600-\u0604 \u070f \u17b4 \u17b5 \u200c-\u200f \u2028-\u202f \u2060-\u206f \ufeff \ufff0-\uffff

I highly suggest you use the unicode escape for £ \u00A3 that should fix the issue.
