I am trying to print the Euro Symbol in my Windows forms application with the following code. It works for all other characters & symbols, but Euro(€) is not displaying.

string input = ((char)128).ToString();
Font f = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12f);
Graphics gr = this.CreateGraphics();
gr.DrawString(input, f, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 0));

By using the below code, I achieved printing Euro symbol without using unicode of it.

String input = Encoding.Default.GetString(new byte[] { 128 });
Font f = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12f);
Graphics gr = this.CreateGraphics();
gr.DrawString(input, f, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 0));

This may help someone.

128 isn't the correct value to represent the Euro sign. Maybe try:

string input = ((char)0x20AC).ToString();

Because U+20AC is the Unicode code-point for a Euro sign.
