CODE MessageBox.Show(ChrW(8364)) This is one way of showing the symbol in VB.NET. Give it a try. The other way will involve you changing the encoding through System.Text.Encoding. It can be a bit longer and tedious just to print one character. But if you are encoding whole strings, then you might want to choose that route. It is the official way of doing it through .NET.

CODE txtTotalAssetsEuros.Text = totalAssetsEuros.ToString("?##,#00.00") I tried sticking ChrW(8364) in but it just reads it as a string : <

Like so CODE txtTotalAssetsEuros.Text = totalAssetsEuros.ToString("€##,#00.00") Just hold the Alt key, then type 0, 1, 2, 8 (in that order from your numeric keypad. The number keys above your alphabet keys don't work), then let go of the Alt key. Or you can use the Character Map, available through [Start] menu, [All Programs], [Accessories], [System Tools]. Or you can adapt Martyr2's advice into this CODE txtTotalAssetsEuros.Text = ChrW(8364) + totalAssetsEuros.ToString("##,#00.00") Simply leave out the Euro sign from the ToString format descriptor.

It may not work in all situations and can also limit design possibilities in the future.
