Solution 1:

Try this:

Stringpound="\u00a3";

and for more sgins: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U20A0.pdf

Solution 2:

First you have to initialize printer commands with this code.

finalbyte[] Init = {27, 29, 116, 32};//for star micronicsfinalbyte[] InitTM = {27,  116, 16};//for other printers.

Then you have to use windows 1252 encoding.

     String commands = "£ 120";
     byte[] b = newbyte[0];
            try {
                b = commands.getBytes("windows-1252");
            } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

Solution 3:

Try this,

publicclassExampleEuroPound {

publicstaticvoidmain(String args[]){

    String euro = "\u20ac";
    String pound = "\u00a3";

    System.out.println("pound = " + pound);
    System.out.println("euro = " + euro);
  }
}

this may helps you.

EDIT 1:

byte[] b = pound.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
byte[] b = pound.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8); // Java 7+ only

then add

list.add(pound);

EDIT2:

This should work.

String euro = "\u20ac";
String pound = "\u00a3";
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add(pound);
list.add(euro);

for(int i = 0 ;i < list.size(); i++){
System.out.println(list.get(i));

}
