There's actually an applescript to toggle it on and off for you:
set proc_ to "/System/Library/Components/KeyboardViewer.component/Contents/SharedSupport/KeyboardViewerServer.app/Contents/MacOS/KeyboardViewerServer"
set app_ to "KeyboardViewerServer"
try
do shell script "ps -axwww | grep" & space & proc_ & space & "| grep -v grep"
tell application app_ to quit
on error
do shell script proc_ & space & "> /dev/null 2>&1 &"
end try
Then, you can make it as an applescript application and run it from spotlight.

Inserting "£" in a string
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iPhone Application writes data to a text file, saves it on the Documnets folder. Great that works
If I place "£" in the string, or use [currencyStyle stringFromNumber] the text file will not be created.
The "£" and the [currencyStyle stringFromNumber] works if the information is printed to a "New View" page on the simulator, pound and all
Can someone please explain what happening?
Are you talking about using the SDK to create iPhone apps. I would post that to one of the developer forums. I don't think you'll get an answer here as this has to do with users typing special characters into finished applications. Not developers.
