the Euro symbol has been available in Director since Director 7.02
(when it was included into the System OS fonts)
it's accessed by typing
on a mac: shift-option 2
on a win: type some alt combo
(= charToNum 219)

In d7/d8/d8.5 mac, when I put member().html of a #text member with 
this char, I get it described as '¤' within the html.
