How to associate a macro to a character for searching it in the pdf?
fonts add tag
CarLaTeX 
I'm using `\euro` from `eurosym` package because I don't like the default symbol.

The problem is that the dafault symbol is searchable in the pdf, the symbol from `eurosym` is not.

Is there a easy way to associate `\euro` to € for searching purpose only? (For "easy" I mean a package that gives a macro like `\associate{\euro}{€}`, without compiling with XeTeX or LuaLaTeX):


```
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{eurosym}

\begin{document}
Computer Modern default symbol €

Symbol form \texttt{eurosym} package \euro 
\end{document}
```

The font uses e for the euro, you can map it for this font  to the unicode code point of the €:

```
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{eurosym}
\pdfglyphtounicode{tfm:feymr10/e}{20AC}
\begin{document}
Computer Modern default symbol € 

Symbol form \texttt{eurosym}  package \euro 
\end{document}
```
