Euro symbol

Is it possible to use a euro symbol on mumsnet?

On my keyboard its Alt Gr + 4 (ie theres a $ on top of the 4 and a euro symbol to the right of it). On mumsnet its appears as a euro in the message box, but appears as a ? on the thread.

But Soupy, what if you want to comment on the cost of random stuff on your forrin holiday???

I get a funny non-link with &euro inside

I don't use EU so much now that we are in Switzerland, but it is a bit annoying that it does not work.

I only holiday in the Caribbean. They use $.

I pressed Alt Gr and the '4 key' on my laptop which has a Euro symbol on it.

Like this: ?

It works in Preview mode but not Post mode.

MmeLindt · 28/04/2009 21:47

Mine is Alt Gr and E (as it is a Swiss keyboard) but it still comes out as a ?

It just does not work.

I guess I could just emigrate to The Caribbean to solve my euro/mumsnet crisis

Good idea, KnickKnack. All the European MNetters will come with you. It is too distressing here in EU land.

KnickKnack · 28/04/2009 21:52

Where Tech when you need him??? Its only 9:52, should he not still be slaving over a hot keyboard like the rest of us?

I am trying a capital 'C' with a strike through now: C

That works!

MmeLindt · 28/04/2009 21:58

ABetaDad
Close, very close. But it should be two horizontal lines.

ABetaDad · 28/04/2009 21:58

MN patent pending on that one.

Amapoleon · 28/04/2009 21:59

KnickKnack · 28/04/2009 22:13
