        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.
