How To: Type a Euro Symbol

To type a Euro (€) symbol using a UK keyboard, both of the following methods appear to work:

  • Either just press Ctrl+Alt+E; or

  • Hold down the Alt key. Now, using the numeric pad on the right-hand side of your keyboard and while still holding down the Alt key, type 0, 1 , 2 and then 8.[1]



Notes

  1. ? Whilst Alt+0128 is the Euro (€) character in Arial, Times New Roman, Tahoma and Courier New, some fonts do not have this sign and print a rectangular box instead (e.g. Lucida Handwriting, Courier, Garamond).
