Number Formatting in Perspective 8.3

I am building a View in Perspective, Ignition 8.3

The View is using a Progress Bar Component. The Progress Bar Component is being used to construct a number of embedded views.

The issue is that with number formatting, I need the currency to be GBP (£) and not USD ($). Is there a way to do this in Ignition out of the box?

The number format in my component’ properties is ‘$ #,##0.00’ which works just fine.

When i change the number format in my component’ property to be ‘£ #,##0.00’ then nothing displays. is there a way to handle this case to display the GBP symbol??

Thank you in advance

You can do it if you change the session variable locale : en-GB (but en-UK doesn't work) while leaving the format string as $0,0.00.

This trick will not accommodate mixed currencies on various progress bars though.

There should be a way of adding the prefix in CSS using the ::before{content:"£";} syntax, but I can't figure it out.
