Exactly what bytes is it represented by, and what encoding declaration
does the file have?

The UTF-8 representation of 0x2022 is 0xE2 0x80 0xA2.  0x80 is the
representation of the Euro symbol in some MS Windows Codepages, and
its unicode number is 0x20AC.  This suggests that the file is being
written out in UTF-8 but read in as if it were some Latin-1 related
MS Windows code.

If it doesn't have one, try adding an explicit
 
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

to the saved file.
