Oh, I didn't know that. ;-)

OK. I guess that in ISO-8859-1 I'll lose the Euro symbol anyway, and
I'll probably have to use ISO-8859-15. Anyhow, I now forced everything to
UTF-8 and all seems to work nicely. I just hope all browser can show UTF-8
entities without problems.

That was the euro sign (€) I typed in with AltGr+E on my keyboard.
I can see it in the console, but not in Mozilla, so it must really
be a very broken (or not very portable ;-)) char.
Thanks and talk to you soon, Michele.
