I have a little trouble with the euro symbol. I need to display it on screen
but also send it as a single byte to a serial device. CE wants to use the
TCHAR 0x20AC but the printer on the serial port needs to use the byte 0x80.

My solution at the moment is to check every TCHAR that is sent to the
printer and if I encounter a 0x20AC I send 0x80 to the printer - otherwise I
just send the first byte of the TCHAR.

What I would like to know is if I can force CE to use 0x0080 for the euro.

Also if I can do that how do I stop the TEXT macro in eVC++ from converting
\x080 to 0x20AC
