Hello to the group. I just wanted to post a quick tip on how to make the degree symbol when posting temperatures. Example: smoke at 225°. I have read posts that use *, ' and the like.
I work in the automotive repair industry. When using computer software to prepare invoices for customers I would write out "degrees" which was a pain when busy.
I did some research and found that when you need the degree symbol press and hold the Alt key then enter 248. So to type 225° you type (225+Alt 248) don't type the plus symbol, just hold the Alt key then 248.
Just a cool trick I found and thought I would share it. This is a basic ASCII symbol, there are others, just Google them up. I put this shortcut on a sticky note on my monitor, but now it is in memory.
