Displaying Euro Characters in Command Line Prompt

To display the Euro character in the Windows command line prompt (console window):

  1. Contact your Microsoft Representative for the 858 Codepage (the filename is c_858.nls). Copy the file into your Windows system32 directory (for example, C:\WINNT\system32). If you are using Windows 2000 (Advanced) Server/XP, this file is already installed so proceed to Step 2.
  2. Edit the registry key:
    Note:
    Editing the Windows registry can be destructive to your system.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\850
     
    

    and set it to value c_858.nls.

  3. In your Regional Settings, select a Western European country (Germany, France, Italy, etc.) as your locale setting.
  4. Exit and reboot the machine.

Ensure that the console window font you use supports the Euro symbol (such as Lucida Console).
