Summary
We previously emitted the generic currency sign `¤` for Ctrl+4.
Generally speaking the modifer should be AltGr not Ctrl, and this should
be the Euro symbol `€`.

Fixes: eb8f9028fb38 ("Add the Euro symbol mapping to the UK keyboard keymap.")
Fixes: a232c1d130d2 ("Copy country-code .iso syscons keymaps for vt(4)")
Fixes: fdd869bd8a89 ("Another rpund of fixes, after checking keymaps for plausibility and with")

none of my physical FreeBSD systems have a keyboard attached to test this, but based on source inspection it looks right: € should be on altgr+4 on a standard ISO PC keyboard, while U+00A4 'CURRENCY SIGN' is not labelled on any UK keyboard i've ever seen.
