AltGr can be accessed by holding Ctrl + Alt together. Whether this will work will depend on your operating system, the application software and the font – try it and see.<br /><br />In HTML, AltGr+4 also seems to work, although “&EURO” is supposed to be the correct code. I notice that most sites write out “EURO” to be on the safe side. If you are filing copy it is best to follow the old newshound practice of spelling it out. That is, type “EUROS320”. That way, the sub can amend your copy manually and avoid confusion.Steve Nicholshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03564402221894277279noreply@blogger.com
