Watch all the >symbols that come up. The symbol for degrees is at option 0 (zero). >----Tom Gorley Option-0 (Windows: alt-0186) gives you the "MASCULINE ORDINAL OPERATOR" as in Nº 3, 1º, 2º (=primo, secundo), which in some fonts is underlined and in others not but which is not the degree sign. The fact that something may look like a degree sign in a certain font does not mean it is or that it will look the same to the recipient of your email using different fonts. The "DEGREE SIGN" ° is option-shift-8 on the Mac and alt-0176 on Windows machines. As to other wrong answers: alt-0248 on Windows is ø -- "LATIN SMALL LETTER WITH STROKE", again not the degree sign. alt-0167 on Windows is § -- "SECTION SIGN", again not the degree sign.
