Description Alberto Massari 2005-11-11 21:48:51 UTC 
The query has this comment

(: Description: Test for string literal containing the character reference
'€' which transaltes into the  symbol :)

The "" character is stored as byte 0x80; this means that the file is not
encoded in UTF-8, but in the windows-1252 code page. And our processor assumes
the queries are in UTF-8 unless the encoding is specified in the header.

I see three possible solutions:
1) add a 'xquery version "1.0" encoding "windows-1252";' header [risky, it would
be testing support for different encodings]
2) save the query using UTF-8
3) remove the symbol and use the full word 'Euro'
Comment 1 Mike Rorke 2005-11-15 18:09:58 UTC 
Updated the test description in the XQ file and the catalog and also re-saved 
the query file as UTF-8
