First, Egg Yolk Hangs on the Wall
Egg yolk hangs on the wall, of course, in the form of tempera color masterfully coalesced into paintings.
What about the egg white, though?
It may be on the wall, too. Some evidence seems to confirm the occasional reports and tales one finds of egg white used in mortar — or stucco at least.

In any event, the Euro symbol on the virtual iPhone keyboard can be made “real”:
How to Type the Euro Symbol ( € ) on iPhone
Time needed: 1 minute
To input the symbol for the Euro currency ( € ) on an iPhone or iPad:
- Position the text cursor where you want to insert the Euro symbol.
Here’s where: In English, the symbol for the Euro precedes the amount of Euros; other languages follow other conventions, and putting the symbol after the monetary number is not generally wrong.
Whitespace: Do not separate the symbol from the numbers that follow it by whitespace to comply with the style guide, e.g., for EU institutions; if you do want to use whitespace for increased legibility (depending on the typeface, for instance), use a non-breaking space (and preferably a narrow non-breaking space).
Other languages: In languages other than English, the Euro symbol typically comes after the amount, separated with non-breaking whitespace.
Examples: This roll costs €3.50? and Cijena ulaznice je 10,00 €. - Tap 123 for the iOS punctuation keyboard.
- Now tap and hold $.
- Move your finger to highlight €.
- Let go of the screen to insert the Euro symbol ‘€’.
Tapped like a true €pean.

What can I use instead of the Euro symbol?
You can always resort to regular Latin characters as replacements for the symbol ‘€’:
