UTF-8 Euro Symbol in LaTeX
XeLaTeX
XeLaTeX is the easiest approach, it works out of the box:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}\usepackage{xltxtra} \usepackage[french]{polyglossia}\begin{document} Donne-moi 5\,€. \end{document}
“Classic” LaTeX
LaTeX requires the use of textcomp to get the euro symbol:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage[frenchb]{babel} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}\begin{document} Donne-moi 5\,€. \end{document}
