Most can find Character Map or Character Viewer on PC/ or MAC  for the ˚ and 
then explore for countless other symbols, etc.


Try this goody for birders  ✔

or ♀ and ♂ are useful and grossly underused. So much so that some sites don't 
even accept them (!!!!!)

if you have lousy views you could use ½ a ✔ or a ✖ as it was too ± ℃ depending 
on where you are and if overseas, any of à á ä ç ô ö Â ë or £ and € could be 
useful...

and finish with the old favourite ⎈

whatever that means!

PS some of these symbols may not display on your machine or may scramble: 
e-mail for original note ;-)

Hi Simon and others,
The symbol for degrees can be accessed on most keyboards by pressing SHIFT ALT 
248...using the 248 either on the RHS of most keyboards or the secondary number 
keys under the letters in a laptop (if you know what I mean!).....
You then get 35°
Cheers,
