Thanks to Sébastien for the tips.

Results of experimentation on this Emacs install.

1. Best
   $ locale: en_US.ISO-8859-15
   M-x unify-8859-on-decoding-mode

This displays normal-sized accented Latin characters and a
normal-sized euro character when these are entered using the Multi_key
(X Window) method.  This was the result I wanted.

2. OK
   $locale en_US.UTF-8
   
with Multi-key I see normal-sized accented characters, but there is no
euro character displayed

3. Poor
   $locale: en_US.ISO-8859-15
   unify-8859-on-decoding mode is TURNED OFF
   
This displays tiny accented characters and tiny euro character when
these are entered by the Multi-key method.
