Which ultimately means it's not the same keyboard mapping. Different languages/mappings use different modifiers to output the various glyphs. My US keyboard, for example, outputs £ by Option-3. Depending on the native OS X mapping, the equivalent key combination may not correspond in Windows. On a US keyboard, Alt and Option share the same key and Alt-3 in Windows will have its own meaning. That's why I stuck with the native Windows Alt-code for a solution.
