In any case I think that the claim in the bug summary and description is
not correct. I just tested with a password including both € and ö and
could log in using GDM just fine.
@Franck: I suspect that some other keyboard layout but the one you
expect is enabled for the login screen. Can you please let us know what
these two terminal commands output:
cat /etc/default/keyboard
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources
Also, to easier be able to guide you if needed, can you please let us
know if you are using a one user system or if more than one user account
have been created.

Title:
gdm greeter does not allow non-US characters (like euro character €)
when typing password
Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
In latest Artful (2017-09-08 daily), gdm does not allow to enter the
euro character (€) when typing the password (be it with the real
keyboard or with the visual on screen keyboard).
Steps to reproduce:
1. on the gdm login screen, try to type € in the password field
2. the input is ignored (not big dot is added)
3. if your password contains a € symbol (which is allowed, incliding during
installation with ubiquity), you cannot login anymore...
