Is there not an online resource hat could be used to find out what all 
the 'special' character key combinations are ie what keys I need to 
press on a standard US/UK/Chinese keyboard to achieve the character ie 
Press L-Alt + 0198 for the Euro sign
Press R-Alt + 0197 for te pound sign  etc etc.

Then no matter what keyboard we used if we performed the above we would 
get the character that the OP wants no matter where he/she may live.
