Alt + 248

[Deleted User] · January 2015

Holding the "Alt" key and typing the number sequence 248 gives you the degree symbol! ° ° °

Maybe this is nothing new, but it's news to me!

Now let's see what other number combinations get....

LOL yeah, not new. But definitely fun, especially when you're talking about weather and nobody else knows how to do it and you blow their minds.

Doesn't work unless you have the side number pad on a real keyboard though... lame top laptop number row doesn't work.

To the bolded: I did not know that.

I was trying to figure out how to do it so I could add some temperature info to my wedding website for out of town guests.

Mind = blown! (Doesn't take much with me, I guess...)

You can find out how to do all the symbols if you pull up Character Map on your computer. Usually it's in the Accessories folder under System Tools. This was a lifesaver when I had to type my Spanish essays in college!

I know a ton of French accent codes for PC. Much easier on my Mac though, but my work computer is a PC. My students are blown away by my tech savvy.
