Pound Sign £ Displays in Review Messages

Updated: 2021-07-30

We are currently investigating this issue. However, we believe it can occur when you set English (Canada) as your Windows display language AND have a Canadian Multilingual Standard keyboard set.

Certain Windows® language settings cause TaxCycle to use a pound sign £ instead of the dollar sign $ in review messages.
