First of all thank you for your interest; you are warmly welcome.
How did you put the Euro symbol in your string?
i tried a naively written example (I also attack it in order to avoid
encoding reinterpretation of my email client):

lass EURO
creation make
feature
make is
do
("Naively using € sign in a UTF8 string %N").print_on(std_output)
(U"Euro € sign in a 'proper' unicode string%N").print_on(std_output)
(U"The EURO sign is %/Ux20AC/, obtained using the %%/Ux20AC/
notation.%N").print_on(std_output)
("Euro ¤ sign written in a terminal in ISO-8859-15
mode%N").print_on(std_output)
end
end

The output of this little example is correct - i.e. outputting a visible
Euro simbol - on Gnome-terminale, xterm, both using utf8. When I told
gnome-terminal to use ISO-8859-15 the euro sign become garbage, but it's
quite expected.
In the fourth line I get garbage all the times, both in UTF-8 and in
ISO8859-15.
It's useful to note that the text-only linux console (aka TERM=linux) I
haven't ever tried to get Utf8 working.
Which editor are you using?
Which encoding were used to save the files?
Again, thanks for the feedback,
Paolo
