According to

IBM has changed code pages 850 and 857 to include the euro sign.

Therefore I suggest to update in the mapping files

the lines

0xd5 0x0131 #LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I
0xd5 #UNDEFINED

which should both be replaced by

0xd5 0x20AC #EURO SIGN

and the equivalent change should be made in CP857.TXT.
