Well, to get the € sign back you need to keep in mind that that data from
static_info_tables is UTF-8 encoded by default. If you import this data
into your iso8859-1 database this will end up with some corrupted data.

You can convert the static_info_tables using the UPDATE! function available
in the top-right function menu of the extension manager if you have
selected the extension static_info_tables in the extension manager.

But you are right, this will still leave you with the problem that the €
sign cannot be displayed in iso8859-1 that's why we have iso8859-15.

If possible switch to UTF-8 and you will not have this kind of problems
anymore.


Cheers,
Andreas
