>Description:
For some time, UK keyboards have had a euro symbol as an 'extra' symbol on the '4' key, along with the dollar sign. Currently, the /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/uk.iso.kbd contains no mappings for this symbol (char 164 in the ISO_8859-15 character set) on this key.
>How-To-Repeat:
Buy and install a recent UK keyboard - note the euro symbol on the '4' key. Set locale to use one of the 8859-15 character sets and try to access the euro symbol on said key. The only way to do it is alt-e, which is logical but there is no euro symbol on the e keycap. The patch below adds the keymapping to ctrl-4 and shift-ctrl-4 (both currently nop). Leaving in the binding for alt-e should leave the keymap logically compatible with other european countries.
