[h-e-w] insert sterling character

[Christopher G D Tipper]

Hi,

I have a US keyboard, but I'd like to remap Ctrl-Shift-$ to produce a sterling
symbol. I have searched info, but can't seem to find a function to insert a
literal character at the point. Can anyone tell me what function ???? must be
to get this simple mapping right?

(global-set-key [?\C-$] (lambda () (??? '£))

(Please excuse any syntactical errors, I haven't read the elisp manual...)
