Actually, most people here use it *after* the number. Which is only logical, if we follow speech, common sence and the International System of Measures and Weights. However I did read a big and glossy style manual about the euro sign back in 2001 and nothing was said about its reccomended placement respective to the number. (Let alone the validity of things like k€, c€ etc.) OTOH, in my previous job as "websmith" (I wasn't really "designing" anything, just HTML) for a banking software company, I used the dollar cent symbol U+00A2 for euro cents and nobody even raised a brow about it (this was in mid-2001). The particular set of screen interfaces thus composed were part of a project that went belly up sometime later (already in production stage, dont blame me!), but it might have been "inherited" by other projects... -- ____.
