can't map pound sign with xmodmap

[J S]

Hi,

I'm trying to map the pound sign on my keyboard using xmodmap :

$ xmodmap -e 'keycode 12 = 3 sterling'

but when I press shift 3, it prints a hash followed by carriage return.
If I run xev, the log displays a pound sign though.

Can anyone help me out please?

Thanks,

JS.
