I'm reposting this because it was down quite a ways on the forum and it might be helpful to people who want to give gps coordinates like 118°42.41.

Here's a small TREASURE of information on how to make symbols that do not appear on your keyboard.

118°47.32 A degree symbol like this? °

It's very secret how to do this. Only people who search for gold are given this secret.

I also know how to do:

™ ¢ © ® ¼ ½ ¾ ÷

Heres the BIG SECRET - Don't tell anyone!

HOLD the ALT key down and with the ALT key held down type 0176 on the number pad. DO NOT use the numbers on the top row of your keyboard, it must be on the numeric pad.

After typing 0176 release the ALT key and WHAM there's the °.

Here's the ASCII codes for the other symbols.

° ALT + 0176

™ ALT + 0153

¢ ALT + 0162

© ALT + 0169

® ALT + 0174

¼ ALT + 0188

½ ALT + 0189

¾ ALT + 0190

If you go to:

It has the whole list and you can print it out.

Let's be careful out there!
