Try 'xev' first. You should see something like this:
<..>
state 0x1, keycode 94 (keysym 0x20ac, EuroSign), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 3 characters: "€"
I assume you have XFree 4. Look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
& locale.dir. Do you have your libc locale (LANG variable) name there? The
charset of cource should have Euro symbol.
