Now is it stored as a box, or does it just look like a box when you view it / select it?
You should review some of the discussions in here regarding code pages. I would imagine that the code page of the XML message uses a different value for a pound symbol than the code page the database is set to use. Some conversion may be necessary.
(One of the reasons ISO defined the ISO4217 codes described here - much easier to move from place to place!)
Code pages & code page conversions are a complex topic which have been much discussed recently with very few straightforward solutions.
