Trust me.  Konsole can output euro symbol.

First check with xev if ALT gr really gives an Euro Event from
the Xserver

Check that you configured the right font:

	perl -le 'print chr(0xe4),chr(0244)'

This will output ä and € for latin 9 but &auml and
&currency; for iso latin 1.

If you see other chars check LANG and LC_* settings.

Maybe bash eats the 8 bit.  Put this into ~/.inputrc

set input-meta on
set output-meta on
set convert-meta off

and exec bash (without these settings I was never able to write any 8bit char.)

Off hand I can't thing or other pit falls.  Let us know if with this hints
you can look at beautiful euro in konsole ;)

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
