>>(which you know doesn't contain the euro symbol)

Here we go again...

ISO8859-1 does not contain œ either, used in many French words;
Every body knows this and is able to use the HTML or numeric 
representation instead;
same thing with the Euro symbol.
Anyway, the windows-1252 code, which is a super set of  ISO8859-1 does 
contain the euro (code = 128)
and both MSIE and Mozilla display it, even when instructed to work with 
ISO8859-1.
It appears that both Microsoft and Mozilla have decided to support 
Windows-1252 codes, even when
in ISO8859-1 mode.

Try this in an HTML file: <META http-equiv="content-type" 
content="text/html;charset=iso8859-1">
put here a character code 128, and it works.

Even my good old CF Studio 4.4 handles the Euro sign in ISO8859-1 correctly.
