1. Please use the large white space to ask your questions.

2. º is Alt+0186. Well, at least it is for Fahrenheit degrees. We don't do
no stinkin' Celsius degree in these parts. I wish we did tho because then
when my atomic clock says 32º (or lower) as it has done quite often the last
week, I wouldn't be reaching for my woolen undies! ;-)

2103, alt+x (Arial Unicode) Otherwise, use the degree symbol (alt+0176) and a capital
C.

JoAnn you are so dumb and ignorant of facts and knowledge there is no
difference between any degrees in the symbol.

2. º is Alt+0186.

Alt+0186 is º, the ordinal symbol. It's used in some languages the way we
use "th", "rd", "st", and "nd".

Alt+0176 is °, the degree sign. This is used in Celsius and Fahrenheit (but
not Kelvin, where a capital K is used without a degree sign).

Note that all Alt-codes have to be entered on the numeric keypad, not on the
typewriter number keys.

No? You're kidding? Gee, I thought they were completely different.

(In case you really are as stupid as you sound, I am being sarcastic.)

See what happens when you get older? Your eyes have A LOT of difficulty
seeing the difference between characters in Charmap.

I didn't know either until I read the description line at the bottom of the
charmap window.

I use the 186 character and it looks like an o to me and not a zero. Oh
well - live and learn.
