The Euro is one that has gotten very popular lately, and you can actually type the character in Linux. In Ubuntu, you can select a Third-level chooser key to enable foreign characters to be typed. I chose the right ALT key for mine. Here’s how I did it:

  1. Open System -> Preferences -> Keyboard and go to the Layouts Tab.
  2. Click Layout Options
  3. Pull down the Adding the EuroSign to certain keys list, and pick one. I chose the E key.
  4. Now, pull down the Third level choosers list.
  5. Select a key.

Mine looks like so:

Close it, and now you can type the € character at will!
