Yes, this works. Thank you!

I already thought about updating the fonts.  This is easy for the
Greek bitmap font I am using in XEmacs,
"-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso8859-7", I can just
copy the missing glyph over from
"-efont-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-c-80-iso8859-15" which has
the same style.

But doing that for all Greek fonts which still lack the € will be very
tedious.

Recent keystrokes:

C-x C-b RET C-x 1 EuroSign button2 button2up C-j EuroSign
button1 button1up C-x C-f ~ / e m TAB / r e s TAB RET
C-s C-g next button1 button1up button1 button1up C-x
k RET EuroSign BS x RET unknown-keysym-0x10000A2 f1
l

(get-character-of-keysym 'U00A2)
nil

The following line in ~/.Xmodmap

    keysym w = w NoSymbol 0x0100263a 0x01002639

works just fine and gives me a ☺ on AltGr+w and a ☹ on Shift+AltGr+w.

(get-character-of-keysym 'U263A)
?☺

(get-character-of-keysym 'U2639)
?☹

But

    keysym c = c NoSymbol 0x010000a2 currency

does not work for me, AltGr+c just enters an ASCII 'c'.
