You joke but Google is the easiest way to get the Euro symbol on a UK keyboard.

You guys are taking this Brexit thing really seriously.

It's not as fun if we don't steal it from them...

Kicking the ass of the British is just repetitive and boring at this point. We've already done that twice. We've only defeated the French once, and I'm sure they'll put up more of a fight, when we tell them they have to speak American.

Isn't that just AltGr+4? A lot of UK keyboards write € on the 4 keycap next to the $.

You sure you're not thinking of the Pound symbol (£)? The Euro symbol (€) would have to be a third thing, if it's there at all.

I'm not British and don't know their keyboard layout, so maybe you're right, but I would expect £ to be accessible and € less so.

Edit: oh, you were right. £ is Shift+3, € is AltGr+4.

None of the ones I've used tbh. That might just be luck though.

Just looking at a random selection of two laptops and five keyboards here and they all have the 4 $ € key marked. The only keyboard I can find that doesn't is the Windows On-Screen Keyboard.

Although looking at laptops on shop websites, a lot of them have just 4 $ so maybe that is going out of fashion? Samsung yes, Asus no, Dell no, HP no.

Actually the Windows On-Screen Keyboard does show € but only after you press Alt-Gr...

Right Alt + e?
