Euro currency symbol into numeric control

[beuvink]

I am trying to get the euro currency sumbol € into a numeric control (formatting code '€ %0.2f'). I cannot get this to work, it is replaced by some ASCII graphic.... 

The symbol seems to work in a string.  But using it in a formatting/constant string gives very strange responses. e.g. : 

(1) make a string indicator with correct symbol and copy it as constant, now the ASCII graphic appears

(2) Make a format string and use 'format string' to convert it, now again ASCII graphic

(3) Use a euro currency symbol as input string, now again ASCII graphic

(4) Use the euro currency directly as string constant to an indicator, now again ASCII graphic

(see attach)

I can't find anything about this issue on the NI website, anyone has any suggestions how to proceed (except using 'Eur' instead) ??

Using LV8.6 on XP

Kind regards,

I replaced your euro sign with mine and it seems to work. Don't ask me why...

I just realized you have 8.6...

I can open yours as well, this works perfect.

Probably something wrong with my euro sign (ALT-0128) and something good with yours.

I see some differences in hex code and I will check the difference.

Thanx for the quick response!
