KDE itself use UNICode by default.  Some applications have ways to set the encoding for 
that application.

How KDE interprets 8 bid encoding should be selected by your choice of Country/Region & 
Language.

The KCM module "Country/Region & Language" is also where you can select your 
representation for "Money".

Now if you question is how to get: "€" in place of: "EUR", I'm not exactly clear about 
that except that the: "€" symbol is on page number 32 in UNICode.

Did you try changing your: "Currency symbol" in the KCM?

Or do you need to insert it when you are typing a document?

That would be a keyboard issue and I don't know if keyboard layouts have been upgraded to 
use it.  Otherwise, you can use KCharSelect (it is in Table 32) with other symbols.
