Pound sign symbol in certain browsers
I'm not 100% certain that this is a Perch problem but here goes...
I have a site where we enter a £ symbol in a Perch text area in the CMS (Textile)
On the live website the price is output towards the bottom of this page: https://www.harinderghatora.co.uk/one-day-workshops.php?s=make-2015-your-year
On Safari and Chrome browsers only I get a strange "A" circumflex character before the pound sign, it seems fine on Firefox or IE.
This would seem to be a charset issue but UTF-8 is specified in the <head> of the website page and (as you would expect) the Perch edit page is also UTF-8.
Any suggestions?
The validator cannot find an encoding because of the errors in the page. I imagine some browsers are being more lenient than others. If it is only in some browsers then it won't be a Perch issue.
I'd make a start by putting your JavaScript inside the head where it belongs.

Thanks for the hints
