It's not Apple's decision.
It's the change from ISO-8859-1 (latin1) to ISO-8859-15 (latin9)

The ISO-8859-1 codepoint 160 is the character 'international currency
symbol', whose gliph looks like a circle with four short diagonal
lines coming out of it. (Unicode U+00A0)
The ISO-8859-15 codepoint 160 is the character 'euro' (Unicode U+20AC)
