Hmm, I experimented with my system (since the Euro symbol is not something
I have much cause to use) and found Alt-0128 to be the key combination,
thus - €.

Displaying the Euro Symbol

2004-03-05 Thread Julian Beach (Lists)
Hello TB! Users,

I get mail from a daily news email that includes currency symbols.
Whilst the GBP and USD signs appear as they should, the Euro symbol
always appears as a code, as below:

 Eircom valued at up to #8364;1.3bn after pricing
 
 Eircom, Ireland's largest telecommunications operator, set a price
 range of #8364;1.48 to #8364;1.75 per share for its IPO, valuing the
 company at up to #8364;1.26bn.

Is this a problem with the email message itself, the Character Set I
am viewing it in, or the font?

(Of course, if the problem is with my settings, then you may see Euro
symbols above, and not the code.  The code is  #8364; - I have
added a space after the  to stop it being interpreted.)


Julian

Hi Julian,

When I use the Euro symbol people see a question mark. I'm not sure if
the problem is on my side or somewhere else...

Why don't you try to write Euro symbol here and we will see if it's your
problem ;)

Perhaps the original news item is written in HTML and then converted
into text-only along the way. I think that the  #8364; is an HTML
special code like  nbsp; is for non-breaking space.

Perhaps you need emails from oher users who include the € symbol in
text only email.

That is the probable answer.  £ and $ are not special characters, so
would not need to be shown this way.  The ¤ sign appeared fine in your

message, rather than my settings.

Thanks!
