... - snip - The cent is constructed by holding down the 'alt'-key and then the numericals 0162. The Yen is 'alt' + 0165, the Pound is 'alt' + 0163. But no way of writing the Euro symbol. Probably alt +0178. Microsoft added the Euro symbol to their Codepage 1252 at that point. Whether your fonts have a Euro symbol is a different question. No, unfortunately not. On my pc alt+0178 gives any number in the second power. Mette |

I was fooled by the leading 0, which most everyone else uses to indicate an Octal number. Try Alt + 0128. -- Kaleb S. KEITHLEY |

Kaleb,
I haven't ever heard of anyone who can think in Octal!!!! Must be some IQ! Anyway, I agree tha alt0128 will yield a Euro sign. At least on my PC it does. Here it is in the newsgroup € € € Hope these turn out looking like Euros. George |

Awesome! I just retired from doing computers and have used the
Altkeypad codes for years but never knew they produced different results when predeeded by a keypad zero Alt128 vs Alt0128. Thanks!

I have just learned two other options. 'ctrl+alt+e' and 'AltGr+e" The result in both cases are ? For HTML-use the code is said to be &euro Mette |

Bob Ingraham wrote in message ... 12/26/2003 12:08 AM I don't see the Euro sign, and this in both postings. Strange. Here are several Euro signs from my PC (using a Swiss keyboard): ????????????????. I have sent them as Unicode. so I wonder what you actually see. On my Macintosh, I see a string of Euro symbols. So do I on my pc. How does one "construct" the Euro symbol? The symbol is on my keybord together with other monetary symbols, but no way of writing the Euro symbol. The cent is constructed by holding down the 'alt'-key and then the numericals 0162. The Yen is 'alt' + 0165, the Pound is 'alt' + 0163. But no way of writing the Euro symbol. Mette Try alt+0128 = € I got this from http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb....ages/Chars.gif = Eric |

an extra for me. Eric Bustad wrote: snipped Try alt+0128 = € I got this from http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb....ages/Chars.gif = Eric |
