Typing € on Google Gboard
Gboard is the default keyboard on Google Pixel, Motorola, Xiaomi, and many other Android phones. In Gboard, switching to the numbers view by tapping ?123 reveals the primary dollar key. Long-pressing that key opens a quick-selection palette containing the euro (€), British pound (£), yen (¥), cent (¢), and other currencies. Alternatively, you can tap the =< key on the left side of Gboard to access the second symbols screen, where the euro sign has its own dedicated button. Our Android symbols guide highlights other hidden shortcuts.
Typing € on Samsung Galaxy devices
Samsung Galaxy smartphones ship with Samsung Keyboard, which behaves similarly but has custom settings. Tap the !#1 button in the bottom-left corner to access numbers. Press and hold the dollar key to reveal the alternate currency tray and select €. You can also tap the 1/2 button above the bottom row to toggle to the second symbol page, where € is readily available. Furthermore, Samsung Keyboard lets you customize the symbols shown on the period key long-press menu under Settings → Layout → Custom symbols.
Adding a text shortcut in Gboard
If you regularly send quotes or invoices in European currency, you can configure an automatic text expansion in Gboard. Open Settings → System → Languages & input → On-screen keyboard → Gboard → Dictionary → Personal dictionary. Choose your language, tap the plus sign (+), paste € into the top box, and set the shortcut to eur. Whenever you type that trigger word in any messaging or banking app, € will appear in the center of the suggestion bar, ready for a single tap.
Clipboard pinning and cross-platform usage
Android features a built-in clipboard manager that can store frequently used symbols permanently. Copy the euro sign from our euro sign symbol page, open your keyboard, tap the clipboard icon on the toolbar, locate the copied symbol, and tap the pin icon. It will stay pinned at the top of your clipboard forever. If you also type on desktop computers or iOS, check our guides for typing the euro sign on Windows and the euro sign on iPhone, or browse the complete currency symbols collection.
