Euro is official currency of the European Union, denoted by the € symbol. By default \texteuro
command is used to represent this symbol in latex.
Symbol | Euro |
---|---|
Type | Currency |
Package | textcomp, eurosym, marvosym |
Command | \texteuro , \euro , …,etc |
Example | 100\texteuro → 100 € |
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\texteuro \\
100\texteuro
\end{document}
Output :
However, the textcomp package contains the same command \texteuro
.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\begin{document}
\texteuro \\
500\texteuro
\end{document}

Eurosym package in LaTeX
In Latex, special eurosym packages have been defined for the Euro symbol that contains multiple commands.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{eurosym}
\begin{document}
100 \euro \\
150 \geneuro \\
120 \geneuronarrow \\
180 \geneurowide \\
200 \officialeuro
\end{document}
Output :
And among the multiple commands in eurosym package, using the \euro
command is best practice.
Marvosym package in LaTeX
The marvosym package also has multiple commands with multiple fonts to define the Euro symbol. However, there will be slight morphological differences between the symbols according to the different fonts.
Fonts | Command |
---|---|
Courier | \EURcr |
Helvetica | \EURhv |
Times | \EURtm |
\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 command is used in text mode to define this symbol. In my opinion, using the default \texteuro
command for the euro symbol is a better option.
