The £ symbol is available in 8859-1 but not -2 unfortunately.

I find the whole coding system in Emacs beyond comprehension, having
been fighting it for a long time now. With respect to org, although
not necessarily for mobile org, I have solved all my problems by
putting the following line as the first line of every single org file
I have:
# -*- coding: utf-8; -*-
(not indented) All my problems have disappeared even though this is
not a recommended solution, from what I understand.
HTH.
