The Euro key is a symbol used on computer keyboards to represent the Euro currency. It is typically denoted by the symbol "€" and is used in countries that have adopted the Euro as their official currency.

History

The Euro key was introduced as part of the design for the Euro currency symbol when it was officially adopted in 1999. The symbol was created to provide a distinct and recognizable representation of the Euro currency across various platforms and devices.

On computer keyboards, the Euro key is usually located near the numerical keys and can be accessed by pressing a specific key combination, such as "Alt Gr" + "E" on many European keyboards. Once pressed, the Euro symbol "€" appears on the screen, allowing users to easily input the Euro currency symbol in documents, spreadsheets, and other digital content.
