For example, if you display the locale definition source file
/usr/lib/nls/loc/DE_DE.UTF-8.src for the German UTF-8 locale, you will find one
entry for each of the keywords graph and print in the LC_CTYPE category
statement:
*************

END LC_CTYPE
( refers to the old European currency symbol.)
The locale definition source files belong to the separately installable
bos.loc.adt.locale fileset. Note that the Euro sign is added for all UTF-8 based
locales not only for the locales of the countries which are member of the
European Monetary Union. Indeed, this is one of the advantages of the Universal
Coded Character Set (UCS).
10.5.2.2 Euro Sign Encoding
For each UTF-8 based locale, the UTF-8 character set description source file
/usr/lib/nls/charmap/UTF-8 maps the old European currency symbol to U+20A0
and the new Euro sign to U+20AC. Each character symbol definition consists of a
symbol name and the character encoding. In our case, the code value is given as
a set of three hexadecimal constants:
...
# Currency Symbols : U20A0 - U20CF
#
...
...
\xe2\x82\xa0
\xe2\x82\xac
