You might want to make it clear that people should consider their usage on 
mobile devices.  For example, I almost never use £ on my main computer but 
often use _ \ and | but on my tablet I almost never use _ \ or | but use £ 
much more.  This is because on the tablet I send text messages much more 
often than using the shell but on my main computer it is the other way 
around.  

Also, I think you want to say which do you "use" more not "need" more.  I am 
assuming that all will be available somehow (some special character screen).  
For example, when I use | I **really** need it -- there is nothing else I can 
type instead.  On the other hand, when I use £ I don't really need it -- I 
can always type GBP instead.  But I use £ much more than |.

So, my suggested question:

Sort the following characters by preference for easy access on a future mobile 
device keyboard: first the one you use most and last the one you use least.
