Euro sign in Select box

For hours I tried to get an Euro sign in my selectbox. Anyone have an
idea how I can do this.

I try:
<%= select("prijs", "prijs",
                            [''EURO 12.500,''12500''],
                            [''EURO
25.000'',''25000'']], :selected =>
session[:zoek_prijs]) %>

But I don''t get an Euro-sign. The browser is displaying a ?-sign. I
tested it at several browsers. Any one an idea?

<%= select("prijs", "prijs",
                             [''&euro;
12.500'',''12500''],
                             [''&euro;
25.000'',''25000'']], :selected =>
session[:zoek_prijs]) %>

Should output something similar to:
<select><option selected="selected">&euro;
100</option><option>&euro;
200</option><option>&euro;
300</option><option>&euro; 400</option></
select>

You could use the UTF-8 euro symbol itself: EURO
But you''ll get into trouble if your webserver doesn''t serve
pages as
UTF-8 (i.e. it is sent in the headers). The &euro; notation seems to  
be more applicable (if the euro sign is present in the font you''re  
using anyway).

When I use this, the following HTML is generate by Mongrel (also using 
webrick)

<option value="12500">&amp;euro; 12.500</option>

In my browser I see this in my selectbox:

&euro; 12.500
&euro; 25.000
etc.

Apparently Rails escapes the text, could be the only solution is to  
generate the select yourself instead of relying on the Rails helper:

<select id="prijs_prijs" name="prijs[prijs]"><%
@myprices.each do |
price| %><option value="<%= price.value -%>"><%=
price.readable_value
-%></option><% end %></select>

Hmmm.. ok that is a solution, but what about the handy ":selected => 
session[:zoek_prijs])" -part? Should I do this with if statements?

<select id="prijs_prijs" name="prijs[prijs]">
  <option value="">geen voorkeur</option>
  <option value="12500">&euro; 12.500</option>
  <option value="25000">&euro; 25.000</option>
  <option value="37500">&euro; 37.500</option>
  <option value="50000">&euro; 50.000</option>
  ...
  <option value="875000">&euro; 875.000</option>
</select>

Is there not way to use the Rails helper?

Re: Euro sign in Select box

problem solved!
The text file encoding of my IDE (aptana) was wrong, I changed it to 
''UTF-8'' and find and replace the bad euro signs with alt-0128
and now it
looks fine.
Thank for any help.
