You need to tell Emacs that your kbd produces iso-8859-15
characters.  Type C-x RET k to do that.

You need to tell Emacs that your terminal can display iso-8859-15
characters.  Type C-x RET t to do that.

If you choose the right locale, then Emacs will know both things and
you don't need to tell it.  That's why I started using
LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro recently.
