Euro Symbol Does Not Render Correctly in Tex Mode

€ Symbol does not render correctly in Tex mode when typed as character. $, £ and ¥, for instance, do. To get a € symbol I have to use \unicode{0x20ac}.

Steps to reproduce

Consider $$ 20£ $$ and it will render correctly as Tex. But $$ 20€ $$ will not: The “formula” is just printed out plain text.

However, using $$ 20 \unicode{0x20ac} $$ will render correctly. (Update: \text{€} will do as well)

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes, I tried it in Sandbox Mode.

Expected result

Formula rendered correctly

Actual result

Formula not rendered at all

Additional information



For what it’s worth, it doesn’t render here either: https://www.mathjax.org/#demo

Oh I see—well, seems to be the wrong place to file this. Thank you for the hint!

Yes, I suggest you open a bug report directly to mathjax about this (assuming it is a bug). Have you tried this on actual latex?
