Problems with the euro sign

[Atahualpa]

Is somebody experiencing this as well? I tried switching browser encoding to unicode (UTF-8), but that did only worse.
I'm using Firefox 1.0.7

Isn't there a € shortcut (&euro? - Seems it works and this one: € (works for me as well)

The first one works but the second one doesn't work using Mozilla 1.7.5.

Both work for me, except where they appear in a quote.

So the best option to include the euro sign would be to use € = €

I see the second one but not the first! Firefox 1.07 and ISO 8859-1 (Western). The ASCII code is & # 128 (without the spaces of course...) Thus &#128

Alt Gr + E = €

problem solved!1111!

I don't have an "ALT GR" key

You don't see this: € ( € )

I can't believe you, I've got same firefox and mine interprets this shortcut, so yours would have to interpret it as well.

Yes now I do. I don´t know what I was seeing when I wrote my post above...

It should be right of your space bar. However if I try the combo it appears in this posting text box, but it is posted as question mark: ¤

Edit: This was the case when I tried it last time. So it works now.

No, I have two regular ALT-keys.

Maybe those are just labled the same, it should be the right one. It shouldn't harm to test it, but the problem might be (of course I can only speculate) that your keyboard configuration is something else than those of an English or German keyboard.

Back to the Euro-sign: One thing that still bothers me of
Gangerolf's post is that the Euro-sign appears as question mark.

Do that and I get é. Its Alt Gr + 4 or Ctrl + Alt + 4 on my keyboard as it shares its place with the $.

Alt Gr only works on weird foreign keyboards. Civilized nations use Alt + 5

You people are all using different keysets, duh.

€ (& euro; ) and &#128 (& #128) should both work, iirc... and do for my browser at least
