Hi got the issue that is driving me mad - and stopping me from logging into places

my laptop registers/sends the £ sign as ??

I have had the mobo replaced on it for another issue, it was doing it well before, and it still continues. It has had a new NIC as the mac had changed

I boot to linux of a usb drive and the issue exists (use terminal to login via ssh to server - it wont accept the password with a £ sign)

the only reason I found out it was doing was do an sql insert using a phrase with £ in it, and the result in the database was ?? instead of £

copy/paste still saves a ?? instead of a £

what can it be?

its a dell inpsiron 5520 laptop

i thought it might be my network but tethering off my mobile and it still does it.
 
its set to uk, as it was in linux when booting from usb


i can type the £ all day long but when using the net it sends a ??
