932 does not have a Euro in it, but all other Windows DBCS (936, 950, 949) codepages do.
For more information, please see http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/017/default.asp#q3 as well as http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/articles/euro.asp

Unicode maintains a set of Windows code page mapping tables at
http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/. (There
are lots of non-Windows tables too; start from MAPPINGS in the above
URL.)
Oddly, of the four Windows DBCS character sets, only CP932 has not been
updated since 1998-04-15, and that table does not have a mapping for
U+20AC EURO SIGN. Code position 0x80 is undefined, however, so MS may
have added it there.
The other three tables are all dated 2000-01-07, and show the EURO SIGN
at the following positions:
936 0x80
949 0xA2E6
950 0xA3E1
Hope this helps,
