It can be done but it is not pretty :-), but the underlying mechanism works

$ cat eurosym.mod
MODULE eurosym ;

FROM StdIO IMPORT Write ;
FROM StrIO IMPORT WriteString, WriteLn ;


PROCEDURE Euros ;
BEGIN
   Write (CHR (0E2H)) ;
   Write (CHR (082H)) ;
   Write (CHR (0ACH))
END Euros ;


BEGIN
   WriteString ('the european currency is measured in ') ; Euros ; WriteLn
END eurosym.

$ gm2 eurosym.mod
$ ./a.out
the european currency is measured in €
