Hi
I was using XVI32 (Hex Editor) to get the hex representation of the Euro symbol and it gives me the value as 80.
Another site: http://www.string-functions.com/string-hex.aspx does the same.
I am not able to understand why the hex representation is 80 instead of 0x20AC. This 0X80 gives 128 in decimal and if I use Alt+0128 it actually produces the Euro symbol.

Could somebody throw some light on what could be the logic behind this conversion from string to hex conversion ?

Thanks
