Comment 1 V Stuart Foote 2017-11-09 17:39:55 UTC
You don't identify the locale or the keyboard in use, but <LeftAlt>+E is not a "normal" mapped key for the € (20ac) Euro currency glyph

Some "deadkey" helper program in use?

<AltGr>+E is used, so <ctrl>+<r-alt>+E might be at issue.

Regardless, multiple ways to enter that do work Windows builds regardless of keyboard.

1. via numpad ANSI code entry, <alt>+0128

2. <LeftAlt>+X toggle conversion of "20ac" (or of "U+20ac")

3. Special character dialog -> Currency Symbols subset (or search for hex 20ac, decimal 8364) and pick-insert to document
