The Euro symbol, when running an .au3 file in SciTE4AutoIt3, is represented as x80. Example:

enter image description here

What is it and why does it happen?

    Are you using the Scite4Autoit or do you use SciteLite? In my Scite console there is no problem showing the € symbol. – Xenobiologist Aug 15 '17 at 11:56
  • I found the cause of this behavior and when changed in SciTEGlobal.properties value of **output.code.page=0** from 65001 to 0 was € displayed again. – SimBeSim Aug 22 '17 at 22:04

What is it …

As per Documentation - Intro - Unicode Support:

There are a few parts of AutoIt that don't yet have full Unicode support. These are:

  • …
  • Console operations are converted to ANSI.
    • € (ANSI/Windows-1252) equals:
      • x80 (hexadecimal),
      • 128 (decimal).

    … why does it happen?

    As per Documentation - Language Reference - Datatypes:

    In AutoIt there is only one datatype called a Variant. A variant can contain numeric or string data and decides how to use the data depending on the situation it is being used in.

    Issuing ConsoleWrite(0x80 & @LF) demonstrates stated behavior (SciTE4AutoIt3's behavior may differ from regular SciTE). In SciTE4AutoIt3 provided code returns:

       €

   €

    Also, ALT + [ 0 - 1 - 2 - 8 ] produces €.
