Using BRITISH keyboard on El Capitan, but no pound sign!!
I've tried deleting and re-adding the British keyboard, but Opt-3 still gives me a hash sign. Crazy!
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

With the British keyboard, Shift-3 should give you the Pound sign.
With the US keyboard, Option-3 should give you the Pound sign.
It is all working correctly with my MacBook 12" and El Capitan.

Sorry, error, just checking something.

No, that's exactly what it should do.
# This is opt/3 on my British keyboard. Which is how it should be . But why there is no £ sign on your keyboard is a mystery. Any chance you can provide a photo for us. If not, can you copy numbers 1 to 6 on your board and show what symbols appear above them.
My bad -- Shift-3 does the trick! I was presuming Opt-3 would still be the command, as it had been with Yosemite, and as per Apple's instructions for El Capitan. I tried every key and multiple combos, yet missed the most obvious one, the Shift key. Sorry guys, wasted your time!
Thanks for letting us know, anyway. Shame, you couldn't post the keys. Couldn't understand why there was no £ sign on a BRITISH keyboard.
hi -- Just to clarify, my physical keyboard DOES have a pound sign on the top of the "3" key. My problem was that I couldn't manage to TYPE a pound sign into a document. But that's sorted now. Cheers,
as it had been with Yosemite,
I don't know where the confusion started, but I can assure you that there was no change between Yosemite and El Capitan. It works the same way in prior OS X versions.
