Lazare,
It cannot be allowed to change the name of the EURO-CURRENCY SIGN, but I
have requested that Unicode add an informative note specifying that this
refers to the ECU in their next version, and I have asked �orgeir
Sigur�sson to forward a request for such annotation to the character name
to be put into ISO/IEC 10646 Annex Q.
