well, on linux, everyone has “°”. on american layouts, it’s AltGr+Shift+0, I think. also i think it’s one reason why you americans love your funny imperial units so much: you can’t even *type* “23°C” if you’re not on linux. 2014-03-14 16:16 GMT+01:00 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@egenix.com>:

Where on earth is the degree sign on my keyboard? (Don't answer. It's a rhetorical question.)
To be fair to Marc-Andre, there is a key for this right on his keyboard. It is we benighted Americans who lack it.

I didn't know that it's not available on US keyboards; only German and French keyboard appear to have a key for it:
