By the way, I was displaying the £ symbol using this in etc/report:-

£[filter op="sprintf %.2f" interpolate=1][shipping noformat=1][/filter]

The sprintf filter is defined in catalog.cfg :-

CodeDef sprintf Filter 
CodeDef sprintf Routine <<EOR
sub {
        my ($value, $name, $fmt) = @_;

        if ($fmt) {
                return sprintf($fmt, $value);
        } else {
                return $value;
        }
}
EOR
