The euro symbol works fine for me:

jan@jan:~$ locale
LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15
LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE@euro
LC_TIME=de_DE@euro
LC_COLLATE=de_DE@euro
LC_MONETARY=de_DE@euro
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER=de_DE@euro
LC_NAME=de_DE@euro
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE@euro
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE@euro
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE@euro
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE@euro
LC_ALL=
jan@jan:~$ locale charmap
ISO-8859-15

If I change LANG from "de_DE.ISO-8859-15" to "de_DE@euro" I get 
question marks in konsole, kwrite, kmail etc. With 
LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15 I get €'s (Euro).

And as you see `locale charmap` outputs 'ISO-8859-15' for me.

You might want to change that.
