2.3.1.2 Keyboard Input in UTF-8 Locales

Sun also provides two additional methods to input the euro:

• Unicode Hex and Unicode Octal input method

• Table lookup method

In the Unicode Hexadecimal input method, the user generates the euro currency symbol by typing the Unicode value for the symbol (U+20AC).

In the table lookup method, the user presses Compose+Control+L, which lists the possible scripts. Choose "Latin" and then the euro from the character table.
