Euro symbol? Is it Alt gr and then some key ?

Hi!

I believe it depend on what layout you are using, but on my keyboard it is ALT GR  + E.

... or you could hold down the 'Alt' key and then (on the Numeric keypad) type '0128' (without the quotes).
I can't remember if it matters whether or not 'Num Lock' is selected.

This key combination will select the character associated with decimal code 128 (hexadecimal 0x80).

For 8-bit display purposes, Windows systems in the western world usually use codepage 1252 ("Windows ANSI"); this coded-character-set includes the Euro symbol at 0x80 (it actually maps to U+20AC in Unicode, which is effectively what is used internally).

You can write ¬ by pressing ALT and holding it down while you enter 0128 !

worded--Yes, it matters if NumLock is selected.
Toggle it OFF.

Here is the result of ALT+0128:

... but the display of this character as the Euro symbol will depend on the display apllication making use of CodePage 1252.

When I view (using IE8) this web page, the response from jcimarron, and my last response, which both purportedly include a character (0x80) which should be the Euro symbol (assuming CP1252), the character displayed is actually the "logical not symbol".

So perhaps, in this context, a different coded-character-set is expected?

Let's try UTF-8: ⬠(0xe282ac)

and see what that displays as.

... that is no more (or rather, it's less) successful!

Looking at the source of the page, Comments use class "richText" - I'm not sure what that implies (I'm not that conversant with HTML / XHTML / CSS / etc.).

The E-E Post Comment window does not seem to be able to handle the code.  The Euro symbol shows when I type, but then when Submitted the other symbol appears. And many other symbols, such as Registered Sign, do not appear at all unless I use the Copy and Paste approach.  ®  ¬
I use IE7.

Here is trying in Rich Text
¬  supposed to be Euro

®  supposed to be Registered

Odd thing.  Users keyboard used to work on Alt Gr + 4  Im almost certain.

Now it doesnt.  

Have you checked their regional and keyboard settings?

I will have a look later.
