Im using the iso-8859-1 character encoding. How do I type and save the Euro sign (“€”)?
You need to use instead the iso-8859-15 character set, which is a modification of iso-8859-1 that includes the Euro sign and some Finnish and French characters. The Euro sign represents character value 0xA4 in this 8-bit set. To open a file manually using this encoding, select File>Open… , and select ISO8859_15 from Commands>Enconding before opening the file. There is a startup script in the “Downloads” area of jEdit Community named euro.bsh that can be used as a startup script to help simplify the insertion of the Euro symbol if your keyboard currently lacks a dedicated key.
