Updated to Firefox 73 and now £ symbol displays as Ł on our Database
Firefox updated to version 73 the other day and now my php/mysql database system that I built displays Ł symbol inplace of the £ symbol. This is an old Database that sits on an in house PC and we connect via a browser over LAN.
Anyone else getting this problem? Tested other sites and it works on places like Amazon, Ebay etc
It displays fine using Chrome.

Did you check what font is used ?
It is possible that Firefox uses a font that doesn't have this glyph.
You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.
You can check in the Rules tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font-family is used for selected text. You can check in the Font tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font is actually used because Firefox might be using a different font than specified by the website.
The font used is Arial.

Font is Arial. Any ideas? Is it likely my website/database is the cause? As I say Chrome does not have a problem with it.
