Strange.

I have a file euro.txt with the following contents:

0000 0000 3b 3b 3b 20 2d 2a 2d 20  6d 6f 64 65 3a 20 74 65  ;;; -*- mode: te
0000 0010 78 74 3b 20 63 6f 64 69  6e 67 3a 20 77 69 6e 64  xt; coding: wind
0000 0020 6f 77 73 2d 31 32 35 32  3b 20 2d 2a 2d 0d 0a 80  ows-1252; -*-..Ç
0000 0030 0d 0a                                             ..

Editing it with emacs -q euro.txt shows the euro sign normally:

        character: € (8364, #o20254, #x20ac)
preferred charset: windows-1252 (WINDOWS-1252 (Latin I))
       code point: 0x80
           syntax: _    which means: symbol
         category: c:Chinese h:Korean j:Japanese
      buffer code: #xE2 #x82 #xAC
        file code: #x80 (encoded by coding system windows-1252-dos)
          display: by this font (glyph code)
    uniscribe:-outline-DejaVu Sans
Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1 (#x70A)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: EURO SIGN
  general-category: Sc (Symbol, Currency)

There are text properties here:
  charset              windows-1252
