DescriptionThe Unicode character "€", or U+20AC, is known as the "Euro Sign". It falls under the "Currency Symbols" block in the Unicode standard. This character represents the euro, which is the official currency of the Eurozone in the European Union. It was adopted in 1995 and is now used by 19 of the 27 EU member countries. The design of the euro sign was inspired by the Greek epsilon symbol, signifying the first letter in the word 'Europe,' and also signifies the stability of the euro. The two parallel lines running through the symbol represent stability. Please note that U+0080 is actually a control character in Unicode, known as "Padding Character". There seems to be some confusion in your question regarding the character code.
