Computer Tip for Degree Symbol

By

DearWebby

If you are on a laptop or use a keyboard without a numeric keypad, your best bet is to make a "Cheat Sheet" like I did many years ago at http://webby.com/char
By putting it on the web, I have access to it from anywhere.
When I need an odd symbol, that I don't remember the code for, or when I am on a laptop, I simply copy the required symbol from that page and paste it into what I am working on.

You are most welcome to use that page. Thousands of people do. Just drag the little icon from the left of the address bar into a corner of your desktop, and you have an instant shortcut to all those codes.

Have FUN!

For Windows, you should be able to use the Character Map (Start > Accessories > Character Map) and copy/paste the degree symbol from there. I sometimes just use an apostrophe (') or asterisk (*) when quickly typing.

We have windows here at work and I work for a title company, I use "control and D" (approximately at the same time) to make a degree sign. I have no idea if this translates elsewhere.

Just learned this, and wanted to share. For example: if you wanted to type 350 degrees on your recipe for baking, etc.
