How To Type The "degree" Symbol In Windows

[+Mushroom Doom]

Here's how to turn this: N48* 26.092'

into THIS: N48º 26.092'

(if you are using a Win PC)

 

Type "N48" then hold the "Alt" key & type 0186 (that's Zero-One-Eight-Six)

Let go of the "Alt' key & the degree symbol appears!

It works with almost all standard Windows fonts & many other symbols too!

 

Here's a link that explains it...

Personally I prefer Alt+0176, which gives this symbol: W080°

 

To me at least, that looks more like a degree symbol, and less like a superscript "o."

176 is the degree sign. 186 is the masculine ordinal indicator

[+The Leprechauns]

I know that. I was trying to be polite.

 

I never show off my masculine ordinal indicator in a public forum.

Oh, man. You beat me to it.

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

I always use [ALT]248 to conserve key strokes.

That's 'cause you're still young. As you get older you'll be proud to show you still have one.

That was interesting.

I learn something new every day THANKS

[ALT]167 works also.

[+blindleader]

[ALT]167 works also.

 

º

[ALT]167 is the masculine ordinal indicator also, not the degree symbol. Degree = ° vs. º

That's not a link. It is a string of characters representing a link.

Hey, you're right, but doesn't that second symbol look like a little blue pill...to some degree?

I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here: Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill?

IS this a link?

 

Link?

[+Greymane]

Yes, but why didn't you post a "Link" vice a "Link?"?

 

It makes you look like you don't know where you are going.

[+sbell111]

Is it OK if I go over to Word and cut and paste a °. A few more key strokes probably, but I don't have to remember anything.

I just draw them on the screen.......

Way too many key strokes. probably asks you if you really want to do this. On a mac it's just [option zero].

Thanks for making me look for it. Now I can throw away that asterisk.

[+Jeeping Family]

How about on a iPAQ?

If you’re writing notes in GpxSonar, select the alternate keyboard (button marked [áü] next to the [Ctl] key). The degree symbol is where the 0 was on the standard keyboard.

I've nevber used a Mac. Does it allow you to make degree symbols (°), or just those things (º)?

[Dale_Lynn]

Yes, but why didn't you post a "Link" vice a "Link?"?

Went right by you didn't it.....
