We have implemented a function that lets you print degree signs (°) or other special characters from any keyboard in any of your messages, new topics or replys.

Use the Ctrl key plus a number to get them as follows:


    ° = Ctrl+1  a degree sign
    ± = Ctrl+2  for errors or uncertainties
    — = Ctrl+3  a big dash for text or layout
    • = Ctrl+4  a bullet for layout or lists

note this does not work on google chrome, but the standard keyboard controls do on chrome, which are

° = alt+0176 mac = option + 0
± = alt+0177 mac = shift option + -
— = alt+0151 mac = option + -
• = alt+0149
