Chr 128.

You can see that it got back as a question mark. Problem proved :-p

chr 128 in the "basic English codepage", 437, looks like the combination
of a "C" with a ",", it is not the Euro symbol. See it he

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437

«Code page 437 is the character set of the original IBM PC (personal
computer). It is also known as CP437, OEM-US, OEM 437,[1] PC-8,[2] or
DOS Latin US.[3] The set includes all printable ASCII characters,
extended codes for accented letters (diacritics), some Greek letters,
icons, and line-drawing symbols. It is sometimes referred to as the "OEM
font" or "high ASCII", or as "extended ASCII"[2] (one of many mutually
incompatible ASCII extensions).

This character set remains the primary font in the core of any EGA and
VGA-compatible graphics card. Text shown when a PC reboots, before any
other font can be loaded from a storage medium, typically is rendered in
this character set.[nb 1] Many file formats developed at the time of the
IBM PC are based on code page 437 as well.»
