The usual mislabelling. You can workaround it once for all by
aliasing the wrong label to the real charset with:
| charset-hook ^iso-8859-1$ cp1252
But to really see the wanted symbols, you also need a terminal able
to display them. A terminal with the Latin-1 charset won't do it.
Latin-9 will show the Euro but not the curly apostrophe. An UTF-8
terminal will do both, as will a CP-1252 terminal.
Bye! Alain.
