One key on your keyboard might be set aside for composing foreign
characters; this is called the Compose key. To enter a Euro (€) symbol
in an X application, hit "<Compose> =e".

On my system (Debian Sarge), I hit "<Right-Alt> e" to get the Euro.

For some programs, it helps to use a character encoding that contains
the Euro such as iso-8859-15 or utf-8.

BTW, my X subsystem didn't define a compose key, so I had to add one
using xmodmap.
