Not so often, but still, many users need to insert the euro sign on the keyboard. There are three ways to do this today. The first one is to use a table of so-called ASCII codes. The second is to use the Word text editor, the third is the clipboard. All of these methods will be described later.
Universal way
Euro sign on the keyboard in the usual set is missing. As a result, you need to use advanced. It is based on the use of an ASCII code table. First, turn on the numeric keypad. If the "Num Lock" LED is on, then nothing needs to be done. Otherwise, we press the key of the same name, after which it should go into the active state. Then, in the process of collecting information, we hold down the Alt control key and, without releasing it, sequentially dial 0-1-3-6, then we remove our hands from the keyboard. After that, the “€” icon should automatically appear in the application workspace.
Text editor
Another way to insert the euro symbol on the keyboard is to use a Microsoft text editor, Word. It consists of the following. In the process of typing, go to the "Insert" tab of the toolbar. Then on it we find the section "Symbols". In it, open the drop-down list "Symbol". Next, select "Other Symbols." Then we find the desired character and click "Insert." Close the window and you're done.
The described process can be performed in two ways: using the mouse or using the keyboard. In the first case, everything is done with the left button of the manipulator. But in the case of the keyboard, we sequentially type: "Alt" \ "C" \ "M". Then, using the navigation keys, go to the "Other characters" item. In the window that opens, use the arrow keys to find the desired character and press Enter. After that, close the window and the “€” icon will appear in the workspace of the text editor. This is an easier way to enter the euro sign on the keyboard than the previous one (there is no need to remember the digital code of this symbol). But this can only be done in office applications, which is a significant drawback.
Clipboard
The euro icon on the keyboard can be set using a combination of copy and paste operations. As a source, you can use the same Word (insert “€” using the previously mentioned method) or a browser (find “€” on the Internet). To do this, select “€” and press “Ctrl” and “Insert” at the same time. Then go to another application and press “Shift” and “Insert”. After that, the euro sign should appear. This method is the most difficult. Need a source of information. In some cases, there may be encoding problems.
Finally
In the framework of this article, three main ways of how to put the euro sign on the keyboard were described in detail. The simplest and most versatile is one that is based on the use of so-called ASCII codes. It is it that needs to be used. It works in almost all programs today. One minus - you need to remember the code "0136". If you often enter this character, then there will be no problems with memorization. For security, you can write it somewhere.
