To store these type of encoding characters or symbols... you can use 'nvarchar' datatype in sql...
and for c# you can try like this

"INSERT INTO table_name VALUES(N'£')";

It must be NVARCHAR datatype - otherwise you cannot store those special symbols.
Make sure you really use it like this:

@Symbol NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT 
SqlParameter resultValue = new SqlParameter("@Symbol", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 8);
