I have a list of currency symbols listed in my database that are entered into a text field.
For the Pound Symbol £ - I am entering £, however when I then try and use this in a template, the ampersand - &, is being encoded again as &. So this displays the symbol incorrectly as £ on the page (or £ in the html source code) rather than £.
Is there a way to stop this from re-encoding in the template?
Found the solution on the following page:

When inserting content into a template and to avoid special characters from being re encoded - use .NoHTML
Ie $ContentType.NoHTML - simple :)
