Is there any HTML special character yet for the Euro Symbol? Sort of like a rounded "e" with a couple of strikes through the middle i think? If not, or is not implemented fully in browsers or parsers, how do you display the Euro symbol on pages? Many thanks.

There is no completely reliable solution out there, all have their flaws.
The third widespread method is this:

a good comparison of the methods is this:

& # 1 2 8 ;
& e u r o ;
& # 8 3 6 4 ;

The above three shows the euro character in IE,Opera correctly.

In Netscape & # 128; is displayed as number.

When I tried to insert the number code
& # 8 3 6 4 ;

in Dreamweaver, It cannot reocgnize the code. It shows simply a dot.

So I think & e u r o ; is a stable one.

Right, even if it's not displayed as € it still transports the meaning of EURO
