Euro Sign Alt Code and Symbol

The Alt code for Euro Sign is 0128. Hold Alt, type 0128 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt. Euro Sign also has the Unicode codepoint U+20AC, so you can type it with Alt+8364 on Windows, search for U+20AC in macOS's Character Viewer, use € in HTML, or \20AC in CSS. If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly — the Alt key method requires a physical numpad. On a US Mac keyboard, press ⌥⇧2 for Euro Sign; shortcuts can differ on other layouts. HTML also defines the named entity € for Euro Sign, but the numeric form € is safer when compatibility is uncertain.
