The Unicode standard for the Euro symbol is HEX 20AC / Decimal 8364.

Open a new mainstack with a field (let's call it "KODE")

and a second field (let's call it "DEKODE")

and a button . . . with this script:

on mouseUp
   set the useUnicode to true
   put fld "KODE" into KODE
   set the unicodeText of fld "DEKODE" to numToChar(KODE)
end mouseUp

enter 8364 into field "KODE" and click the button . . .  magic was never 
so easy :)

and cross-platform at that!

[remember, when in doubt just reach for Unicode:
