Euro symbol on a keyboard

Most of you probably already know this but for those who do not and may
at some point need it, you can do the Euro symbol on your keyboard. As
with most special characters you need to press and hold Alt, then
press some sequence of numbers on the small keypad on the right side of
your board, then release the Alt key. I found today while in the
Stamp NG that you can do a Euro symbol € by using a zero, then 128, thus
the sequence is Alt0128. I had no idea using a zero first would
produce symbols. There are a number of other symbols available using
the zero first, chart H at the following site:

On my Macintosh, the Euro symbol '€' is alt/optionshift2. This
assumes, of course, that you are using updated fonts that support it.

Macs have an entire set of symbols, foreign letters and so forth that
can be used otherwise normally via the alt/option key. For example,
the '¢' is alt/option4, the '®' is alt/optionr, the '¥' is
alt/optiony, the '¿' is alt/optionshift/, the '£' is
alt/option3, etc.

Yes. PCs can do similar with ALT plus a numeric code. Thanks to
Grampa for the €-tip though!

If you are using Windoze, you can also select it from Accessories/System
Tools/Character Map along with hundreds of other characters. Seems there is
always more than one way to skin a cat. :-)

Careful, Ed. We have enough trolls here without encouraging the PETA
trolls.
