What's the proper symbol for a pound weight?

lb. :

The use of '#' for "number" (No.) and "pound" (lb., lbf.) is a hack.
I have a friend who uses &c. as well!

We don't do that L thing or the E
thing for Euros. It's not on the keyboard and I can never remember the code to
enter it manually.

U+20AC 0128 euro
U+00A2 0162 cents
U+00A3 0163 pound sterling
U+00A4 0164 generic currency
U+00A5 0165 japanese yen

I've got a little utility that pops up code tables so I can cut and paste
"characters" directly from that into whatever.

You can also install a Unicode font (e.g., CyberBit) and look at
the font displayed...
