According to

  http://ps.boulder.ibm.com/pbin-usa-ps/getobj.pl?/pdocs-usa/euro.html

IBM has changed code pages 850 and 857 to include the euro sign.

Therefore I suggest to update in the mapping files

  ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/PC/CP850.TXT
  ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/PC/CP857.TXT

the lines

  0xd5 0x0131 #LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I
  0xd5 #UNDEFINED

which should both be replaced by

  0xd5 0x20AC #EURO SIGN

and the equivalent change should be made in CP857.TXT.
