The page is not correct. It is using the Windows-1252 encoding, but doesn't 
specify that in the headers or in the HTML. NetSurf's default is Latin-1, 
which doesn't have the Euro.

The page has actual characters, not entities like this. The meaning is 
different. HTML entities always refer to Unicode numbers, irrespective of the 
page encoding. So &#150; or &#128; will never work, because Unicode has 
nothing there. NetSurf displays them as

00 and 00
96     80

respectively (hexadecimal).
