There is no Korean Compose
table or keymap support for
the euro symbol. To enter
the euro symbol, use the vi
or dtpad editor to cut the
symbol from a supporting
application and paste it to the
target application under the
ko_KO.UTF-8 locale.

The Alternate function key, described as the Alt key in this table, is also
described as the Gr key on some keyboards. (In both cases, the key is on the
right side of the keyboard.) For more information on keyboard mappings
and keyboards, see

(5) for your version of the operating system
(http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/docs/).
When you install WLS and languages that support the euro symbol, you
receive text and PostScript print filters that are sensitive to system locale
settings and that provide fonts containing the euro currency symbol. For
example, the generic PostScript print filter (wwpsof) supports UTF-8 and
ISO 8859–15 formats.
No additional user action is required for euro symbol printing support.
The operating system provides two locales (en_EU.UTF-8@euro and
en_US.UTF-8@euro) that specifically assign the euro symbol in the
LC_MONETARY section of the locale. These locales supplement the UTF-8 and
ISO8859–15 locales that define the currency symbol as the euro, as described
in euro
(5). Because setting LC_MONETARY overrides the environment
variable LANG, you can set LANG to a locale that does not support the euro
symbol and set LC_MONETARY to en_EU.UTF-8@euro to obtain euro symbol
