A console font, which suppports euro, must be loaded. Red Hat uses command setfont and Debian uses command consolechars.

In Debian the file /etc/console-tools/config must have ISO-8859-15 screen font:

           SCREEN_FONT=lat0-16

In Red Hat the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n must have lines

       SYSFONT=lat0-16
       SYSFONTACM=iso15
