I saw a small company that made stickers to go on the keyboard to get the sign you wanted on the keytop.
As to Windows showing a specific symbol, then you try the regional settings in the Control Panel and in Word documents you select a FONT with the character you want.

"Character Map" is installed on most Windows systems. Susan has described how to access a single special character which should certainly help you. There are lots more if you want to take a look. Click on the link below to read about how to use it.

Hope this helps.

is it a desktop system or a laptop?, if it is a desktop then have you concidered getting a new keyboard, if it is a laptop, try looking on ebay for a uk key board.
If not then set the system to have a uk keyboard in the operating system (in control panel/keyboard/ input locales and ensure that it is set to english(united kingdom) and then use the symbol above the '3' on the top row of the keys.
