When £ sign is entered into a field, it is translated into '?' (with the additional side effect that Money cannot parse £1.00)

17th August. Just tried out the new Expenses demo via HTML and the £ sign worked OK. Robert suggested that, as he has not yet looked at the bug, this might be something to do with the server - expenses demo is running under Tomcat rather than in-built webserver.

This is a problem with Jetty: the request object provided by it contains ? instead of £. The version we are using does not use the correct encoding.

I am trying to install the latest version of Jetty to see if it is fixed.
