    That depends on your keyboard layout. On my Swedish keyboard I can use one of AltGr-5 and AltGr-E (or Ctrl-Alt-5/E), but that may not work with your keyboard layout.

    ALT-0128 works universally, but that's a little more cumbersome.

    To type the euro (€) sign in Outlook on desktop Windows 11, use the correct Alt code on the numeric keypad:

    1. Make sure Num Lock is turned on.
    2. Hold down the Alt key.
    3. On the numeric keypad, type 0128 (not 1028).
    4. Release the Alt key; the euro symbol (€) will appear.

    This works in Outlook and other apps that accept standard Windows Alt codes.

    I added the English International keyboard in Windows, and on that, pressing Ctrl-Alt-5 => € ( just did it!)

    I can switch keyboards by Ctrl-Shift- a tiny popup allows me to tab between keyboards.

    The English International keyboard also allows ü, ö, é etc. with key combos. E.g., Shift" u=>ü
