Emacs 21.x doesn't support cp1252, and cp850 is not an equivalent of
cp1252.

cp850 doesn't support the Euro sign, that's why it displays it as
something else. And the codepoints of other Latin characters are
different in cp850 than in iso-8859-1, so you see different glyphs.

No, it's because the codepoints are different; see above.
