"The point of having

% support and are very appreciated by the Valencian-speaking community."
Since it's a new locale, they simply used the Latin-1 version with Euro

with having ISO-8859-1 as default, which does not include the Euro
symbol. Then again: most Unix installations use UTF-8 nowadays anyway.
