Sorry for my misleading e-mail. In "Windows applications" e.g. notepad both "Ctrl-Alt E" and "AltGr E" produce the € sign.
In my nt-emacs setup neither produced any sign in a buffer. For the @ sign the behaviour is in emacs "Ctrl-Alt q" -> nothing "AltGr q" -> @. What font should I use in emacs to be able to display a € sign? My default font is Courier New and the € sign shows up as \200. But if I switch to e.g. Arial via the Shift-Left Click the € sign still is not shown. Do I have to "install" new fonts that contain the € sign?
