If for example i insert an EUR sign (¤) in Microsoft Word, copy it to the clipboard and try to insert it into a normal Emacs-buffer (e.g. *scratch*) then i get only \200. > > > I suppose the reason is that i do not using a latin-15 charset but > > a latin-1.

Ok, after this my *current-language-environment* has value "Latin-9" which seems to be correct but nevertheless i have no success with inserting an EUR sign (¤), neither by pasting from the clipboard (still getting \200) nor by hitting the key-combination (German keyboard: Alt Gr + e) which inserts ¤ into a Word-document for example (in Emacs no reaction means nothing is inserted). Is this clearer now?
