Alt-0163 is the keycode but I'm going to guess that, since you mentioned laptop, the problem is that you have to use the number keypad when entering the numerals.  That is, the number keys above the letters won't work.  You should be able to overcome this with a simple AHK script:


--- ---^1:: Send, £ ; Use Ctrl+1 to send the pound symbol.

It's not part of the standard US keymap, so you'll need to do alt+scancode, or use the windows key remapping feature.

Or, change to the "United States - international" map, and press altgr+shift+4.

this sounds a good solution, is it a setting in Windows 8.1?
and what you mean by altgr?
