The Linux console supports Unicode -- I assume it can display `€' as
well as `¤', but can't currently check.
Please don't treat Emacs as if it was mono-lingual. Just DTRT and
change the display of the correct characters if your terminal doesn't
support them. Note that I've often used an ansi-ish tty to edit the
multilingual support I've done.

C-x 8 $ is the simplest way, though it's bogus at present in that it
depends on the current coding system. I have changes to DTRT.

That's the rationale for latin1-disp.

Sure, but it's not very useful. The Latin methods should definitely
support entry of the euro sign generally. (Things have moved on since
I added the Latin-9 support.)
[I personally find the TeX method most memorable/general/useful, but I
don't mostly type a specific Continental language.]

Then, of course, pick something else appropriate, but try to base it
on existing practice. I don't know where to look except, perhaps,
what's available for the Yudit editor.
