I can type the € in the search page of this forum, but not in Google... Google displays a ¤ instead of € but recognizes what I typed and shows some results.
If I type the € in a Calc spreadsheet, it shows up in the spreadsheet itself but not in the formula bar...
The € works in Konsole and Kwrite, it doesn't in Akregator and Tellico...
Does someone have a clue?

Interesting. ¤ is the universal sign for currency. It's like a generic form of $, €, £, ¥, ¢ and the like
Google might be being smart

What's your locale?

Could this be font dependent? Seems unlikely, but was the first thing I thought of .

My locale is set to "en_US.utf8" in rc.conf and my keymap is "it" - I always install the OS in English, but I use an italian keyboard; xorg.conf has nothing regarding keyboard model nor keymap.
DE is kdemod-legacy: in KControl Center, "Locale" is "US English", "Keyboard Layout" is "it" with model btc900 and defauilt layout.
As for the fonts, I thought about them but since I use the same fonts on other installations (I can't access them right now), I discarded the idea.

my guess is that you use two fonts, one with the € symbol for the pages, one without it for the various bars you can write to

I have the exact same, and I actually thought it was an issue everywhere, until I saw the correct euro sign here...
I actually simply got used to it, but this makes me wonder again.
PS: I'm not using qt/kde or similar, I mostly use gtk, if ever I use that even...

Using kcharselect to take a look at the fonts' characters' tables, I notice that no font at all has the € - anyway, I can use it here as you see...

of course I see it, I have the font installed!

I can see it, but I can't type it because I've US keyboard.
Is there any possible clue?
Also old KDE3 shortcuts don't work on KDE 4.1. Suppose to implement a shortcut for the Euro sign.
