how do i type the euro sign on a uk keyboard

Can someone please tell me how to type the euro sign on a uk keyboard. Shift,option, 2 types the ™

Option and 2.

(137411)

Hit Option+3 to type the British Pound symbol on a Mac keyboard, here's what the quid sign looks like – £ For Mac users with a US keyboard layout, this is easy to remember because the 3 key is the # POUND symbol, so with the same name as the British Poundcurrency symbol, that should be simple to recall.Nov 8, 2009

Option + 2 is TM

UP UNTIL VERY RECENTLY THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH "ALT 2" ON A UK KEYBOARD. ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU NOW GET "TM". I HAVE NOT CHANGED MY KEYBOARD, ALL THAT IS DIFFERENT IS THE LATEST OPERATING SYSTEM, SIERRA.

On a UK keyboard as the original poster has Option 3 generates the hash symbol i.e. #, on a UK keyboard Shift 3 generates a pound i.e. £ symbol. On a UK keyboard Option 2 generates a euro symbol i.e. €. (On a UK keyboard Shift Option 2 generates the trademark i.e. ™ symbol.)

On a US keyboard Option 2 generates the trademark symbol i.e. ™ and Option 3 generates the pound symbol i.e. £.

If as the original poster i.e. sarahfromportugal is experiencing one has a UK keyboard and Option 2 is generating the ™ symbol then this would strongly suggest that the Mac is configured to think it has a US layout keyboard. This should be corrected by opening System Preferences, going to Keyboard, then going to Input Sources and adding the British keyboard layout and deleting the U.S. layout. It would probably also be a good idea to go to System Preferences -> Language & Region and then making sure that also is set to United Kingdom rather than United States.

Other countries will be different again. The following Apple KB article details all the Apple made keyboards and their layouts. See - How to identify keyboard localizations - Apple Support

I find it ironic that the most of the citizens of the country that gave us Twitter and the hashtag are unable to correctly name the # and £ symbols. (It should be obvious where the term hashtag derives its name from.)

Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and make sure there is only one item on the list, called British (NOT British PC or any US or ABC version)

This is only true for a keyboard made by Apple.  Everyone else has € at Option 4 on a UK keyboard. 

Thanks John, this works on my MacBook Air.

Option 2 gives me the € symbol!

Hope this helps someone else too.

My new MacBook Air, bought in the UK,  option 2 gives TM symbol. There is only BRITISH on the system menu & obviously that is what is selected, there appears nowhere I can select a euro symbol **sigh** why do they make simple things so difficult?

The use of # as hashtag is very recent, only a few years old. The historical use was to represent pounds (weight) in invoice line items:

item 6) 10# apples @$5.16       $51.60

If you want option 2 to produce €, go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and make sure that you have ONLY British on the list (not US, not British PC, not ABC).

When option 2 produces ™, then € should be at option shift 2.

You need to set up your keyboard in sys prefs to be british not us

that solves the problem

on my macbook pro it's fn+alt+2
