If I switch the console font to Lucida, I can see the Euro sign, too
(even on XP Pro).  But mixing and matching with Cygwin doesn't work
well

H:\>echo =E2=82=AC | c:\cygwin\bin\od -t x1
0000000 3f 20 0d 0a

(the Cygwin process saw the Euro sign as a question mark)

but

H:\>c:\cygwin\bin\echo =E2=82=AC | c:\cygwin\bin\od -t x1
0000000 e2 82 ac 0a

which is the proper UTF-8 encoding of the Euro sign.  So the output of
a Windows process coming in through a pipe is treated differently than
input from the Windows console.
