Yep, we’re on the same page. Now what in the heck is a “masculine ordinal indicator” and how is it useful in communication? Or tuning a pianer? ☺☺☺

 

We’d best get back to another topic that has a lesser ° of difficulty. Don’t you just ♥ it? This material is not ©, but if you want to ® a complaint I will take ♪ of your concerns. I’m just a ♂ trying to get along, so everyone have a ☼ day!

I’m off to Ω to some good ♫ now and have a piece of π.

True. alt0167 produces the symbol § - section sign.
 

But alt167 does produce a degree symbol, at least appearing in my composed message here: º. Whether or not the individual recipient or this list perceives it in this form I do not know. But I thought I should interject that alt167 and alt0167 are different animals.

 

They are indeed, but alt167 will still produce a "MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR" (equivalent to alt0186) º, which has an underline in many fonts. To get the "DEGREE SIGN"  ° you can type alt248 (equivalent to alt0176) - and I was therefore wrong to say this was mistaken.
