Hello, I'm using the following encoding commands \usetypescript[modern-base][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[12pt,modern] and was wondering whether someone knows an elegant way to get the pound sign 'lb bar' (unicode #2114, html ℔). My current hack looks like this: \def\lbbar% {% \raise.28em\hbox{--}% \kern-.535eml% \kern-.1emb% } but I'm underwhelmed by the thinness of the bar ... Thanks for any insights, Joh

\hbox{\smash[w]{\raise.545em\hbox{\blackrule[width=.45em,height=.6pt]}}% \kern-.035eml% \kern-.075emb}% still needs some fiddling ;) Greets, Peter
Thanks for any insights,

Thanks. Fiddled some more and am using this now (all type-specific measures): \def\lbbar% {% \hbox{% \smash[w]{% \raise.535em% \hbox{\blackrule[width=.45em,height=.04em]}% }% \kern-.035eml% \kern-.075emb% }% } Thank you for your help. Joh
