Weird but I can't find where is € symbol set in Magento 1.3.2.3. My locale is German, so I checked /lib/Zend/Locale/Data/de.xml, but for Euro it only have the following code:

        <currency type="EUR">
            <displayName>Euro</displayName>
            <displayName count="other">Euro</displayName>
        </currency>

However at the front-end the € symbol is displayed. Please help.

Take a look into lib/Zend/Locale/Data/characters.xml There you'll find wich characters are used to replace the definitions.

For example: 

<currency type="EUR">

Type EUR will be replaced for the € symbol.

take a look at the Currency.php class under app/code/Core/Mage/Directory/Model, you will find that Magento uses the Zend_Currency class which in turn uses the Zend_Locale_Data to retrieve currency symbol.

Hope it helps. Regards, Alessandro

  • And Zend_Locale_Data is looking into /lib/Zend/Locale/Data/de.xml for currency symbol which is not there. We are going circles :-| – user487772 Aug 19 '11 at 12:37
