Who's he? Me? I see a Euro character. But some
won't if it's not the same number in their codepage.
Also, fonts come into it. I discovered that when I
added UTF-8 support to my coding editor. It works
fine, but only a unicode font can show it. I normally
use Verdana for scripting and HTML. With that I get
what seem to be codepage characters for the UTF-8
non-ASCII characters. But if I change the font to
MS Arial unicode it works fine.

So it could be that some fonts don't have a Euro
character. Then there's the possibility that someone's
reader has done a UTF-8 switch somewhere, resulting
in an invalid UTF-8 character.

Which is yet another reason for English speakers to
skip UTF-8 unless they need to share files with non-
English speakers. Lots of unnecessary complications.



On the contrary. You refusing to use unicode is what is causing the problem.
