The euro sign under E is on many Italian keyboards, so that sounds
natural to me.  Never seen C= as a shortcut, my X understands e= and E=
but not c= or C=.

I would not include c= and C=.  I would not include e= either.  These
things are very annoying unless they are really useful, so better just
include what's really needed and nothing more.
