Does Anyone Know The Degree (temp) Symbol?

[BeeS4335]

Sounds a daft question, I know, but I'm a switcher who used to use ASCII tables. I need to type the symbol for degrees F or C several times a day. Does anyone know how I can do this? Mine's a MacBook Air.

Option+0 (that's the number zero).

At least I assume that this º is the symbol you're looking for.

If you go under System Preferences->International and click on the Input Menu tab you can enable the Keyboard viewer which will show the characters available when different modifier keys are pressed.

there are actually three different symbols you can get

option+0 = º
option+k = ˚
character palette = °

Don't forget option+shift+8=°

That'll teach me not to check the keyboard viewer for redundant symbols...

shift-option-8 will also give you something approximating a degree symbol.

32°F


EDIT: Dang you, atszyman!

i believe that is the one is the same as the character palette.

Thank you all. I'm most grateful.
