How to get the € euro sign on my keyboard?

Solution 1:

In my keyboard layout "English (International with Dead keys)" I can get the € sign using AltGr + 5. For a sure kill use Ctrl + Shift + U, you will get a underscored u, then type 20ac Space and you will get .

Solution 2:

The actual keyboard-shortcut depends on your keyboard layout. Here is a list of possible shortcuts:

  • AltGr+4 (UK)
  • AltGr+5 (US)
  • AltGr+E (BEL/ESP/FRA/GER/ITA/POR)
  • AltGr+U (HU/PL)
  • Ctrl+⇧ Shift+u followed by 20ac works on all layouts
  • Ctrl+k followed by =e in the Vim text editor

As @Fred-Jan mentioned, if you have a generic English layout, change it to English (US, with euro on 5) or English (US, alternative international) to be able to use the right ALT key to make the Euro sign.

Solution 3:

On keyboard layout "English (UK)" AltGr + 4 should give you a € symbol.
