I've wondering how people on this forum manage to show the degrees C sign. So for everyone that doesn't know how to write it, Hold down "alt" then type 0176 in the numpad.
°C

Or, Alt Gr and 5 (not on num pad) simultaneously and than C or F letter.

p.s.
This could be the case only on local versions of keyboards like mine.

either ° ALT 0176 for those who like an extra digit

or ° ALT 248, just that little bit quicker ;)

And allow that glory blur your thinking process? No, this is for your own good.

Look at all my postings

I did not know how to do °C before

but
' deg C ' is using 4 keys
Alt 0176 is also using 4 keys

so not really any short cut
but
does look better.

You could install this software (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/hotkeyz.html) and remap keyboard in such way that that is available with short key combination like Alt Gr + d for example.
