Euro Sign

Euro Sign is the standard symbol for its currency, used in pricing, invoices, financial reporting, and accounting software worldwide.

Unicode block: Currency Symbols (U+20A0–U+20CF). This dedicated Unicode block was created because currency symbols kept needing new entries as countries introduced new currencies — the Euro sign (€) itself was added to Unicode only after its 1999 introduction.

At Unicode code point U+20AC (decimal 8364), Euro Sign is the 13th of 33 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, it is one of the characters in this block with both a documented Windows Alt code and a Mac keyboard shortcut, making it typeable without copy-paste on either platform. Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.

💡 Good to know: Placement conventions differ by locale — some currencies place the symbol before the number (e.g. $10), others after (e.g. 10 €) — follow local formatting conventions in financial documents.
