The Euro (€) is the official currency of the European Union. The \texteuro
command is the default way to display the € sign without requiring any additional packages.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\texteuro \\
100\texteuro
\end{document}
Output :
Using the textcomp package
The textcomp
package also provides the \texteuro
command, offering an alternative way to insert the € symbol.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\begin{document}
\texteuro \\
500\texteuro
\end{document}
Output :
The eurosym package
If you’re looking for more flexibility with the € symbol, the eurosym
package is a great choice. It offers multiple variations of the € sign, each with slight design differences.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{eurosym}
\begin{document}
100 \euro \\
150 \geneuro \\
120 \geneuronarrow \\
180 \geneurowide \\
200 \officialeuro
\end{document}
Output :
Among all these options, \euro
is widely recommended as the best practice.
The Marvosym package
For even more customization, the marvosym
package allows you to generate the euro symbol in different fonts.
Each font has slight variations in design, giving you flexibility based on your document style.
Fonts | Command |
---|---|
Courier | \EURcr |
Helvetica | \EURhv |
Times | \EURtm |
To use these variations, include the marvosym
package in your document.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{marvosym}
\begin{document}
1.Normal font $\rightarrow$ 100 \EUR \\
2.Courier font $\rightarrow$ 100 \EURcr \\
3.Helvetica font $\rightarrow$ 100 \EURhv \\
4.Times font $\rightarrow$ 100 \EURtm
\end{document}
Output :
Each method has its advantages, but in most cases, the default \texteuro
command is the simplest and most effective way to display the euro symbol in LaTeX.
