You could use a template to exchange the Euro character in your database for
the Unicode number. Here's one I use that works for escaping apostrophe's
when for data I insert to MySQL databases. This template borrows heavily
from one in Mike Kay's XSLT Reference 2nd ed. You could probably modify it
for your particular requirement for multiple characters. Then you wouldn't
have to change the data source.
<xsl:template name="TextOut">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:variable name="apos">'</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="ntext" select="$text"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($text,$apos)">
<xsl:variable name="first"
select="substring-before($ntext,$apos)"/>
<xsl:variable name="rest-of-it"
select="substring-after($ntext,$apos)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($first,'\',$apos)"/>
<xsl:if test="$rest-of-it">
<xsl:call-template
name="TextOut"><xsl:with-param name="text"
select="$rest-of-it"/></xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Subject: Re: problem with EURO symbol
This is not the solution,
because the data is stored in the database with the euro symbol, and I'm not
going to search for all the DB to change this strange characters ...
There's not any special tag that can escape this characters ?
<[CDATA[€]] not runs ...
