€ is coming instead of regular Euro sign in ISO-8859-1 in Magento

character-encoding, magento, multilingual, utf-8

Solution

I have done like,

     <?php echo mb_convert_encoding($this->__('Careers'), "UTF-8", "HTML-ENTITIES"); ?>

and keep charset default UTF-8.

Problem

€ is displayed instead of Euro sign in ISO-8859-1 I am using this character set for my French, Spanish, German and Italian stores. Please tell me how to fix this euro sign problem or any other solution to display special characters of above listed languages.
