Creating the Degree Symbol: A Quick Guide

[quiverfull7]

What do I click on to make the DEGREE symbol instead of typing Degree ... I know... I should know this but hopefully someone out there can tell me???

 

[chefann]

On Mac, it's option-K. On Windows, hold down alt and type 0149 (I think) on the number pad. (It's been a while since I was on a Windows machine, but I think that's the number to use.) There's also a little program in the Accessories (Start>programs>accessories) that has all those special characters.And if you're in Word, you can always go to Insert>Symbol and select it from there.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Start-->Accessories-->Character MapFind the character you want and double click on it. That will copy it to the clipboard and you can paste it here:It is 19° in Milwaukee this morning.Alt + 0176 should also give you the ° symbol, the character map will tell you the keystrokes for special characters you might want to use.°¦§¨©ª«¬¯¯®­±²³

And if it's for a recipe on your website, use ° !

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

° [giggle] That's like reading the shoutbox. [/giggle]

“What?” I exclaimed, “I can't believe that bothers people!”lol

computer geek

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Awwww, that's the nicest thing you've ever accused me of being.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Incidentally, I'm not a computer geek, just a user like you.Now, Chefann, OTOH...

 

[chefann]

HEY! pbbbhhhtt! I'm not a computer geek any more. I'm a FORMER computer geek. Now I'm just a nerd. That's why I couldn't remember the exact code for the degree sign.

 

[quiverfull7]

Once again a simple question has spawned joyfilled laughter!!!!!
Thanks everyone!

 

[janetupnorth]

HEY! pbbbhhhtt!

Ok, call me a geek...I've been out working on conveyors, came back and saw KG's post and thought to myself "oooh...binary" with a smile of delight...

Now, I will admit, being happy to see binary is geeky!!!!








...and I agree on the shoutbox...I ALWAYS forget I can't use quotes there!

 

[wadesgirl]

Ann, I miss mac shortcuts! I keep wanting to try to do option R for the registration symbol. PC has too many numbers to remember!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Once again a simple question has spawned joyfilled laughter!!!!!
Thanks everyone!

So, what else ya got that we can destroy?

 

[KateD]

I love that joke! I just sent it to my dad.When I was in college my sig line was:
There are 10 types of people in the world; those that understand binary, and those that don't.I had a lot of people ask me about the other 8 types! And I found a whole new group of geeky friends.

 

[quiverfull7]

So, what else ya got that we can destroy?

at this moment... nothing but I remain calm in knowing that you'll make sure to do so when the time arrives!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Well, just a couple of ♪ ♫ because I don't want to £ this to death, but if you have a ¥ for foreign currency, there's a whole § of symbols and if you ©, you can paste them here. This doesn't make ¢ to a lot of people, probably ¼ or less know what these mean. Remember, π r not ², π are round.

 

[KateD]

Har har har.And, depending on the type, π are delicious.

 

[Chefgirl2]

Thank you! I have been wanting to know how to do this for nine years!! This is great!! Okay, now how do you type one and 3 fourths? 1-3/4 , 1&3/4. I know there is a way...I just gave up on computers when I was introduced to it in 1984...1010101010101010101AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I guess it would have helped knowing how to type first...

 

[KateD]

1¾ 1 &frac___34; (takeout underscores) is html code

It's threads like this that make me feel soooo darn stupid! Thanks for asking the question, however. I knew there was a way, but just typed the darn word out. English was a good subject for me, but they still had typewriters when I went to school. (yes, dinosaurs were roaming the earth at that time!!)

Well, don't feel bad. There are only 10 kinds of people who understand binary, those who do and those who do not.
