Default Degrees symbol

You're using Alt+176 rather than Alt+0176, which is the same reason
you get a degree symbol with Alt+248 instead of ø with Alt+0248.

The degree symbol is contained in every ASCII and Unicode font at
character 00B0 (Unicode) or 0176 (ASCII). You can insert this
through Insert | Symbol, but the built-in keyboard shortcut for
inserting it in Word is Ctrl+@, Spacebar.

This may seem relatively simple but all I want to do is put a
degrees symbol
at the end of a temperature. I have looks through the Windings but
there are
hundreds of them through Windings 1,2,3. Is there a quick way to do
this or
can someone tell me where exactly I will find it. I'm surprised
that it's not
included in the special characters.
Thanks in advance


Alt 176 gives me ¦ not °


So it does, what a difference an 0 makes.

Well at least my answer to the original poster was correct.
