When I looked into extended ASCII and EBCDIC code pages last year, I
figured the Euro sign would probably be the next complaint I got, and in
pages that included it the best match I found was between 1140 (US
EBCDIC with Euro) and 1252 (Windows-1252).  All the same printable
characters are in both.  I din't like going Microsoft-specific, but ISO
8859-1 predates the Euro, and ISO 8859-15 had 7 other special characters
defined in EBCDIC swapped out for letters with diacritics and ligatures.
