Form with Euro € symbol in text

[gizmo]

I have a form with a text input as follows:
<INPUT class="forms" NAME="minval" TYPE="text" VALUE="Euros " SIZE="25">
I would like to replace the word "Euros" with the euro symbol €. If I do will it be available to all, or it a Windows/M$ thing?

<input type="text" value="&amp;euro;">

Thanks for that Charles. Now at the risk of being on the wrong forum, if the php that services the form is coded to remove user html input will is remove the &euro; part also ?

It depends how you are removing the HTML input. If you use htmlspecialchars (http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php), it will indeed format it to &amp;amp;euro; which will cause it to display as &amp;euro; rather than &euro; on your pages....

Thanks Pyro, that's answered my question.:)
