On Windows computers it is "Alt Gr" + "e".

Bonjour N.Hilary,

On my laptop (Dell), it is ctrl + alt + 4 .The word "euros" is also accepted here.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

Paul, I suggest you google "type French characters Mac" or "type French characters windows". I got solid responses from both options.

I find the only thing that works for my computer is holding down Alt and typing the number 0128. I never remember that though, which is frustrating. So I write euros.

(Céline's solution gives me a sun, and don't have an "Alt Gr" key to try Chris's solution)
