On my PC, running Linux...

Hold down control AND shift and while holding those two keys down type U00B0

Current temp: 79°F

If you have a Mac, I haven't a clue.

I'll try anything - but I have a notebook running Windows. Current temp 31°.

Okay, I see finally what I was doing wrong. Can hold down Alt key with the sequence 0176 as was suggested by someone... but using the right hand number pad as opposed to the running numbers above "qwerty..."

Always glad to learn something new.

Now to see if the cent works 99¢

Three new features learned today - how to imbed pictures in a post plus the two above. It's pretty nice when people around the forums share their expertise.

Strange how different OS'es handle keyboard input differently.

I remember learning to make a micro symbol in Windows by typing ALT+0181. That doesn't work in Linux. In Linux I have to do Ctrl+Shift and type U00B5 --> µ

I liked how the old Gardenweb accepted HTML. A degree sign was ° which even I could remember. :)

alt 0186 gives something that looks like a degree sign [98.9ºF] but is really ''MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR'' whatever that means
