HTH,

Well ALT+176 worked in some programs but not in most. You could always
copy/paste from this -> ° <- For use with °C or °F. There are also unicode
characters that are prebuilt with the degree symbol.

The principle is the same as for all characters: find the Unicode
character on unicode.org, and then embed it appropriately in your code
(eg using a \uxxxx escape sequence).

http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html is a good starting point -
but you do need to have a reasonable idea of the name of the character.
In this case, I would search for "degree" which actually finds (at
least) 4 characters:

Degree celsius: 2103
Degree fahrenheit: 2109
Degree kelvin: 212a
Degree sign: 00b0

Of course, they may well all be represented by the same glyph.

Or you're starting 'charmap' and look it up in the status bar.

Except, there is no such thing as degree kelvin, just kelvin. ;) But
that's another story.

Yeah, right. :) Most people don't know this.

Including the folks at the Unicode Consortium, by the looks of it :)

(On the other hand, it's probably the simplest way of registering the
name so that people will find it.)

Yes, which is questionable. You couldn't say "meter degree" or "pound
degree" as well, that'd be the same nonsense.

Best regards,
