Unicode Technical Report #8 added the Euro as part of Unicode 2.1.
Its character number is 20AC, and its name is EURO SIGN.
€ is fine by me. No SGML/XML application or standard that I know
of (other than Jade) has a history of using character names derived
exactly from the Unicode character names, so the contraction to €
should be generally acceptable.
