Rightmove changes of '£' to '?'

I have noticed on Rightmove using Property Bee that some listings have a change from the £ sign to an upside-down ? sign, and then a couple of days later it changes back again.
Is this just a trick agents use to bump their listings up the searches as it counts as an edit? I cannot think of any other reason for doing this, but I'm curious as to what purpose it serves.

    Rightmove has a will of it's own. Seriously. I'm counting down 25 minutes to see what random thing it does to our listing tonight.

    the £ sign does this in emails too sometimes - its something to do with HTML formats.
