Well, bad decision or not, there is only one Euro symbol by definition
now.  I see your point in supporting fonts with characters that look
similar to a Euro symbol, though.  As long as the documentation makes a
clear point that those characters are _not_ Euro symbols, but artistic
variations of it, it is fine with me.  To avoid confusion, I suggest
even not to name artistic variation of the Euro symbol [eE][uU].

Are you talking about Latin9 input or output? I only care about output.
