Euro character in text?

You need to ensure that the charcter set for the site supports that character. It is likely that your site is using iso-8859-1 while this site is using iso-8859-15 which supports the euro symbol. You can change your character set by modifying your site.ini, i18n.ini and template.ini - I believe that is all of them.

Alternately you can keep your current character set and create custom tags for each symbol you need to support: http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/customization/components/datatypes/ezxmltext/custom_tags

Hope this helps,

How will my locale setting affect this? In site.ini I see:

[RegionalSettings]
# The primary language for your site
Locale=eng-GB

If I look in share/locale, I see:
[james@web locale]$ ls en*
eng-CA.ini eng-GB@euro.ini eng-GB.ini eng-US.ini

Now the eng-GB.ini shows:
[Charset]
# The preferred charset
Preferred=iso-8859-1

And the eng-GB@euro.ini shows:
[james@web locale]$ more eng-GB@euro.ini
#?ini charset="iso-8859-15"?
[RegionalSettings]
LanguageComment=Euro support

[Charset]
Preferred=iso-8859-15

[Currency]
Symbol=&curren;
Name=Euro
ShortName=EUR

So what does all this mean? Do I need to alter my locale settings to display the euro character? How do I do that? (update site.ini? anything else?)

Thanks,
