Maybe I'm missing something here, but it's actually quite annoying to have to change the LANG environment variable in order to access the Euro symbol. For example, I'm Australian and speak English. So, theoretically, I should have LANG set to en_AU (actually, I don't bother, I still just use the default of C, but that is beside the point). However, I tend to spend most of the year living in the Netherlands, which is one of the countries adopting the Euro, and there's no Euro symbol in the fonts used by en_AU. I don't speak Dutch, so there's not much point setting LANG to nl, nl_NL or whatever. And there's no [EMAIL PROTECTED] In fact, for English speakers, there's only [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sure, the UK hasn't adopted the Euro, but is it inconceivable that English speakers of non-Euro countries might need to use the Euro symbol?
