Perhaps you already have this:
Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout

Check 'Enable keyboard layouts'
Add U.S. English w/ deadkeys

Click Apply

In the taskbar, select the 'U.S. English w/ deadkeys' keyboard

Then:
- press the 'Compose'-key (<Shift>-<Alt>, hold down <Shift> while pressing
<Alt>)
- press '=' (*Nothing* should appear now)
- press 'L' (Pound sign should appear)

Cheers,

Leen
