The symbol you are seeing is the symbol used to denote 'locale
specific currency symbol' in a format pattern. What is strange is
that if you don't have a symbol for that currency in your current
locale, you should get the ISO 3-letter code (EUR, in this case)
rather than a euro symbol. Is it possible that you are escaping the
currency symbol in your format string, so that the currency symbol
itself is being rendered to the output, rather than having it replaced
by the correct currency within the formatter?
The only other thought I have is that you are telling your browser
that the file is UTF-8 via the meta header, but you may well not have
told Tapestry to spit out UTF-8 characters, resulting in the browser
rendering the generic currency symbol. Putting the <meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/> line in
the template is not the only thing necessary to get your documents in
UTF-8 correctly. That just tells the browsewr what to expect. Tapestry
will use the default charset of the JVM when reading and writing to
streams, so if your default charset is not a superset of UTF-8, you
could easily wind up with characters that don't translate correctly.
You can discover your default charset by simply printing
Charset.defaultCharset() to your logs. If you aren't running in
UTF-8, try telling the JVM that is running Tapestry to use UTF-8. You
can only change the default charset at startup. Add
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to your JAVA_OPTS var before running tomcat.
That will cause all templates and properties values to be rendered to
the client as UTF-8.
And yes, please let's take i18n very seriously as it is rare for me to
have to develop apps that aren't translated into several different
languages and charsets (cyrillic being the usual culprit when it comes
to problems)

If you get to something more definitive let me know. I should probably
take i18n issues very seriously considering the percentage of
users/developers coming from countries not using english as the
default native language.
