Well in Emacs 23 at least you can use C-x 8 RET and then type the name
(or hex value) of the symbol you want. The command this runs is
ucs-insert from mule-cmds.el.

You could also add a global keybinding:

(global-set-key (kbd "...") "€")

But if you wanted this to be Alt Gr+4 you'd have to work out to
capture that in your console.

Best,
Richard
