I do not really understand why a Euro sign would work with 8859-1 since
that does not contain that character as far as I am aware of.

You could do an experiment. Try feeding your database all possible
unicode chars in a set of 1-char records, and see which ones come back
unmangled. This is a kludge, but you could preconvert your Euro to
one of those invariant unused chars.
