Degree symbol °

You are accessing this on a PHONE?????


I feel so violated.

Violated? What are you using your phone for? Don't even say talking. That's soooo last decade.

My computer is bogus! When I hit alt 248, my internet browser toggles between the 2nd, 4th, and 8th tab open. (if there were an eighth window)

in my house its 75 gmail facebook miata.net

lame.

How do you get the degree symbol on a windows laptop?

Fn+Alt+KU8

I wish I just had the symbol. I hate pressing alt anything.

I'm still surprised the 101-key keyboard doesn't come with a ¢. I grew up using typewriters - the cent symbol was a standard key then. It's the only one I know of that didn't make the conversion to PC keyboards.

Back in the DOS days this was a fun way to hide data on public drives. I used to make a folder with the last character ALT-255. It is a blank character, like a space. Not only did very few people understand the acscii codes and how to access them, you couldn't even see that one. So the folder was in plain site and no one could open it.

Then XTREE Gold came along and ruined all my fun.

I did something similar with UNIX and a directory called '.. ' The '.' at the front means hidden directory in UNIX. On top of that '.' is the current directory and '..' is one directory up like it is in DOS. So when someone does do an 'ls -a' it just looks like there's an extra '..' which people chalked up as some sort of UNIX quirk instead of an actual hidden directory. And since it is hidden, it's still not shown in most graphical file managers.

Oh, yes....lots of "secret" ftp sites back in the day used that trick.

Seems to me that VMS had the same dot folders (and may have predated DOS). Man that seems like a different century (oh wait...)

☻☻hmm, ☻When I hit Alt 258, I get a little black smiley!

Oh, I see, 248! my error! °. I like it!

The short cut on OSX is shift+option+8

Opt+k works too… I think it is the opt key.

 

[martinworswick]

on my mac laptop its just alt numeric 2 (k) ˚˚˚˚˚˚˚˚˚˚˚

 

[GregR]

meh, I just multiply by pi/180 and express my mash temps in radians.

 

[mullenite]

Hold down b on a newer Android phone. Don't remember what it is pre-2.0

 

[KayaBrew]

I have a different shortcut. I don't down the alt key, then I press the letters d,e,g,r,e,e, and s.

I type "F". As in 152F. Or 152˚. Hey, I did it!

 

[petey_c]

I'm using my PC at work. The upper numbers didn't work (just below the "F" keys), but the number pad on the right worked perfectly.

 

[jmferris]

Here is a way that will work regardless of what you are posting from. The HTML symbol for ° is: °

 

[dfc]

We talk a lot about temps on this forum and just thought I would mention the keyboard short cut for ° is hold the alt key, then type 2, 4, 8 on the number pad.

I didn't search, so if this has been mentioned a million times before I apologize!

I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but on a mac it's shift - option - 8.

 

[ArcaneXor]

ºoº -< Mickey!

 

[jafo28]

It's option zero on a macº.

OOps! already been said.

I use this function multiple times everyday.

I just wanted to add my most recent discovery. The lab engineer I work with taught me this.

I work with Excel a lot making graphs from data. I often have to draw a straight line across some data to show something. I've always done this by hand, until I was informed that:

Pressing the shift key while you are still drawing the line will produce a straight line

I love it! I am a dork!
