Re: [NavList 5286] Character Test - Degree Symbol
Yes. I can see it in the MS Entourage email program on my Mac.
Can you read this? 360°
On the Mac the degree sign is option-asterisk (shift-option-8)

Subject: [NavList 5286] Character Test - Degree Symbol
I'm wondering if everyone on the list can see the special character for the degree symbol on their end - if so, I think that would be a lot easier to use than the various workarounds (this format - i.e. 180deg 00' - seems to be the favorite flavor du jour).
I'm not sure if the degree symbol translates to text-only e-mail clients, so if everyone can read the format at the end of this sentence I'd like to propose that we use the symbol vs. typing out "deg" (it would also more closely approximate what I'm assuming most of us are using for our own calculations/worksheets: 180° 00'
Windows users can find the degree symbol with the Character Map program (charmap.exe), or even easier just copy and paste it from another post... ;-)
