#1: OT: question for Ray
Posted on 2005-08-28 19:46:53 by Niek Hanckmann
Hello Ray,
I saw in your answer to Anthona that you used the symbol for degree in
your text. How do you put that in? I couldn't find the numeric code for
that symbol in my ASCII-chart. And as far as I know, newsgroups do not
support rich text.

Hold down the left ALT- key and using the number pad (not the numbers above
the letters), type in 0176, then let go of the ALT-key: °
I find these useful:
0174 ®
0176 °
0177 ±
0178 ²
0179 ³

I thought there was one of these shortcuts specifically for the
copyrihg symbol... the c with a circle around it. Any ideas anyone?

K,
You can get it by Googleing "copyright symbol".

On a windows machine
start > programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map
alt + 0169
©
(press alt key and then while holding it down press the four numbers on the
KEY PAD)
The shortcut code may be depended on what font you have installed and what
font the computer reading the file has installed, I don't know. This worked
for me and I am using times new roman.

On my Mac, Kath, it's "option" and "G."

In MS Word, (c) will change to the copyright symbol. Regards --

On any PC: CTRL+ALT and C altogether should do the trick

<pedant> won't work on an apple II+, Mac SE, Amiga, Atari ST,
BBC Micro, sinclair zx81.... It should be true for

It is claimed that this works in GUI apps on windoze.
However it does not work in
notepad,
wordpad,
Lotus Notes,
a DR-Rexx based mainframe frontend,
putty,
cmd.exe
Granted, it seems to be hotwired to starting lotus sametime connect
on my Windoze XP box for work.
For my windows 2003 server box control-alt-c has no effect either
and it can't be something stupid Lotus related because
there is nothing from Lotus installed on the box.
Of interest, in notepad, character(169) is a top left single line box corner.
In wordpad, character(169) is the copyright symbol.
With 8 bit extended ascii character sets, the copyright symbol depends on the
font. Find a font viewer application that allows creating a string with font
information for cutting and pasting.
However it should be character 169 aka 0xa9 for all latin-1 capable fonts.
Under Unicode it uses the latin-1 character number.

Ray,
Even if it had, your newsreader did not tag the article as being in a latin-1
character set. Of newsreaders smart enough to read the tag, results
would be mixed as to whether or not they displayed the symbol correctly.
