Creating the degree symbol

Friday, September 19, 2003 by Bushman | Discussion: Stardock Software

How do you create the degree symbol? I am looking to add it to the sysmetrix skin I change for my use. Thanks.

I simply use the one on my keyboard. ° On german keyboards it is based under the 'ESC' key. Forgot the ascii code for it though...

° <- that is Alt+0176 on my PC..., Alt+1076 = '4'

I tried the ALT +1076 and I saw nothing. I tried this with notepad will it work there?

No Bushman..... mine was a typo.......... as that smart-pants Hus pointed out, it's  alt 0176 = °     alt 1076 = 4

A little trick if you need a symbol or character that's not on your keyboard, use the Character Map (Just type charmap in the run command).

To get a degree symbol hold Alt and type 679

Depends on keyboard a.s.o.
e.g. I can use ctrl-alt-shift-; (the semicolon).
You might use a workaround: open your texteditor (like word), insert the symbol in the font you want, then copy and past it into sysmetrix, using the same font.
