Are you sure you are not getting 8364 instead? This is U+20AC, which is
<U20AC> /xa4 EURO SIGN
(from /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ISO-8859-15.gz)
Why is it unexpected for you that the currency symbol is the EURO SIGN
in the de_DE@euro locale?
Or, why is it unexpected to you that the euro sign has the Unicode
ordinal 8364?
IOW: What are you trying to do that these numbers matter? (I'm really
curious)
