As I said before, I don't think the SX system supports multi-currency

I don't know..  What online service provides quotes for your stock/fund?
The symbol is whatever is the key into the quote service.  I can't tell
you what it is because I don't know what fund/stock it is.  So if you
wanted to look at the fund prices yourself online where would you go and
what would you type into the quote website?
