Re: Getting the € symbol on a laptop

The characters can be copy/pasted too. Windows has a 'Character Map' (with a search function) where most can be found for copying.

Re: Getting the € symbol on a laptop

I don't know how many are aware that the Character Map is part of Windows but it's handy to know about at least. Many non-keyboard characters are available there for copy/pasting.

Not too technical to use.

Re: Getting the € symbol on a laptop

It's interesting that the Euro symbol is not a key on my laptop despite only being a few years old. Just as well, we won't need it soon anyway.

Re: Getting the € symbol on a laptop

My tablet has the € symbol on its keyboard already which is going to be really handy when we stay in the European Union and also adopt the Euro as currency.

Re: Getting the € symbol on a laptop

...or (if your laptop has a number pad) hold down Alt and enter 0128 on the number pad to get €. I get the £ symbol by Alt 0163

I use Alt 0176 to get ° for the degree symbol

They're the only ones I know off hand but there are others including some fractions, ÷ sign etc

© Alt 0169
™ Alt 0153
