Don't understand you.
sbox returns a result (of precision: unicode) which can be assigned.
z=: cutopen '€1.23 €45.67 €890.12'
zz=: sbox z
zz
+-----+------+-------+
|€1.23|€45.67|€890.12|
+-----+------+-------+
As for boxes not quite lining up, that only serves to emphasize what I
said: that "fixed width" with today's fonts is more of an expressed wish
than a realized actuality. In your case I think it's 127{a. that's fouling
things up. At least it does on my Mac. Windows might / will behave
differently. So will different fonts.
