Editing Pound sign (section)

===Double bar style <span class="anchor" id="Lira"></span>===
Banknotes issued by the [[Bank of England]] since 1975 have used only the single bar style as a pound sign.<ref name=BoEoldnotes>{{cite web | url =  https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/withdrawn-banknotes | title =  Withdrawn banknotes | publisher =  [[Bank of England]] | access-date =  13 September 2019 | archive-date =  15 January 2019 | archive-url =  https://web.archive.org/web/20190115092327/https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/withdrawn-banknotes | url-status =  live }} ("£1 1st Series Treasury Issue" to "£5 Series B")</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/current-banknotes | title = Current banknotes | publisher = [[Bank of England]] | access-date = 8 November 2019 | archive-date = 4 December 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20191204081441/https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/current-banknotes | url-status = live }}</ref><ref name="BoE-FoI">{{cite web | title=History of the use of the single crossbar pound sign on Bank of England's banknotes | url=https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/freedom-of-information/2022/history-of-the-use-of-the-single-crossbar-pound-sign-on-banknotes | publisher=Bank of England | access-date=13 April 2022 | archive-date=25 March 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220325080653/https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/freedom-of-information/2022/history-of-the-use-of-the-single-crossbar-pound-sign-on-banknotes | url-status=live }}</ref> The bank used both the two-bar style ({{char|₤}}) and the one-bar style ({{char|£}}) (and sometimes a figure without any symbol whatever) more or less equally from 1725 to 1971 intermittently and sometimes concurrently.<ref name=BoEoldnotes />  In [[typography]], the symbols are [[allograph]]s{{snd}} style choices{{snd}} when used to represent the pound; consequently fonts use {{unichar|00A3|pound sign}} ([[Unicode]]) [[code point]] irrespective of which style chosen, (not {{unichar|20A4|lira sign|nlink=Lira#Lira sign}} despite its similarity). It is a [[font design]] choice on how to draw the symbol at U+00A3.<ref name="BoE-FoI" /> Although most [[computer fonts]] do so with one bar, the two-bar style is not rare, as may be seen in the illustration above.
