Hello Tom!
Since GTK uses Pango for text handling it uses the UTF-8 codeset. So you
only have to set the appropriate UTF-8 sequence to the label:
"\xE2\x82\xAC".
Any text which contains non-ASCII characters (characters above (uchar)127)
has to be concerted to UTF-8 first. ASCII characters 0 ... 127 are a
subset of UTF-8, that's why they don't need an extra conversion.
