Pressing E yields a euro sign "€" instead. What can I do to fix this?

Pressing E yields a euro sign "€" instead. What can I do to fix this? A teacher at our high school contacted me, saying that every time she presses the E key it prints out a euro sign. It's not the language settings, I already tried that. It happens in all programs, and regardless of who's logged in. Could a student have remapped the key when she wasn't looking?

This happened to me just now, in Turkey we also have the euro key mapped under E, and accessible using altGr. I tried to keyboard tricks mentioned here to no avail. The other keys seemed to work fine. I then saw that the function lock light was lit. I pressed the FnMode key on the right corner of the key, and the problem was gone.

I've just has this same issue on OpenSolaris. I was typing away when suddenly (after I must have hit some weird key combination) the keyboard mapping changed "e" to print "€". After bit of testing, it seems that Right Ctrl + Alt + e returns the mapping to normal - not sure if this will be the same on Windows on not.

Students, female teacher, E key = euro. I smell a rat. Especially as the normal combination is Alt Gr (right alt) and 4.
