[Ti] Fwd: Degrees symbol? (ANSWER)

[David Remahl]

Another thing to note, is that in Mac OS X it is not possible to 
produce all characters from the keyboard, at least not using 
conventional modifiers in conjunction with normal keys.

The Character Palette can be used to locate characters from the full 
Unicode set. To activate the Character Palette:

1. Start System Preferences.
2. Select International (don't ask me why...)
3. Select the Input Menu tab.
4. In addition to the keyboard layout you use, select Character Palette 
from the input methods list.

To show the Character Palette, select it from the input menu, located 
to the right of the help menu. In the floating window that appears, you 
can browse all the characters that are available in any of the 
installed fonts.

Unicode characters can also be entered using the Unicode Hex Input 
input manager, but that's beyond the scope of this mail ;-).

Complete Unicode support is a great thing about Mac OS X.

/ Regards, David
