Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/447596 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Note addresses issues related to the display of euro (€) and trademark (™) symbols in non-Unicode SAP systems. It outlines that neither symbol is defined within ISO8859-1 (Latin-1) or other R/3 system codepages. In Unicode SAP systems, both symbols are supported. For printing in SAPScript, specific SAP Notes offer guidance (129581 for €, 535936 for ™). Manual additions of these symbols to system code pages are warned against due to potential data corruption and lack of support from hardware manufacturers. SAP has no immediate plans to include these symbols in its default system code pages.
