You will have to use a different character encoding by setting the 
"client charset" option in your freetds.conf file.

iso-8859-1 doesn't contain the Euro sign.

Of the single-byte encodings, iso-8859-9 will have it, if it's 
supported by your system's iconv library. Depending on the age of your 
system, windows-1252 a.k.a cp1252 (Windows Latin 1) should also have 
it.

And of course it's in utf-8, but your software probably isn't ready to 
handle utf-8 data or you'd be using it already and not having problems 
with any character.
