In all other applications the euro symbol works properly: e.g. I press CTRL+ALT+4 and get a Euro symbol. If I do the same in Notepad++ I get a different symbol. By using the hexview plugin in Notepad++ I see that using CTRL+ALT+4 gave me 0xAC (hex) but the hex for the euro symbol is 0x80. If I type 0x80 in hexview, I do indeed get the euro symbol.
Does anyone have any idea why CTRL+ALT+4, (or ALTGR+4) might give me the wrong hex value in Notepad++?
I'm running Notepad++ 5.0.3 on Windows xp, and I tried reinstalling it.
Thanks!
Trevor.

One of your plugins causes this issue. The old HexEditor and MultiClipboard are well known to do this. Please remove your plugins and put them back one by one to fix it, and update the broken ones

oh the irony: the hexeditor that helped me analyse my problem was the culprit!
