Euro Sign in Smartforms

Hello All,

I want to include the Euro Sign (u20AC) in one of my Smartforms (on a non-Unicode system). So first I simply tried to use it direcly, by entering this sign into a Smartforms text element. But on the final printing (spool via sp01) this Euro sign is replaced by a # sign.

So I searched a bit here in the forums -- it is said to use the string "<156>" to include the Euro sign in a Smartform. So I did, but unfortunately that did not work either. When I use this string there is nothing printed there in the final result (except a space character).

Any other ideas that I could try?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards, Matthias
