The patch referenced does not solve the issue, you still get an error if you add a pound sign to the system. 

Using something like below does create a temporary solution though: 
  unicode(myString, 'latin-1')

This sounds like a duplicate of http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/2180. Can you please apply 'zptunicode2.patch' from that issue and see if the problem goes away? If so, please comment *there*, otherwise resubmit this issue.

 When a page template uses a £ (pound sign) it throws an error (shown below). So if you were to grad data from a database which contained a pound sign the page crashes. 

 This happens if I try to edit page templates I have carried forward from an older version of zope or if I create a new one. The only way around this I have found is to use the unicode method to decode the string, however this is now difficult to implement in a site which already uses str(). 

Hope you can find a solution to this as it causing many difficulties.
