Ever wonder how you make the degree symbol (º) or the cents (¢) symbol? Well I'm going to show you! ;D In order to get these symbols you need to do the following: • Hold down the Alt Key
• Type the number next to the symbol you want using the number keyboard on the right hand side of your keyboard. Note: You MUST use the number keyboard, this doesn't work with the number keys above the letters.
• Release the Alt Key
• Ta Da your symbol is now there!Here are the most widely used ones for us. At the bottom of the post I will give you a link to access all symbols. Just thought this would be a shorter list to print out for you. † = 0134 (this is used in crochet and knit patterns) • = 0149 ™ = 0153 © = 0169 ® = 0174 ¢ = 0162 £ = 0163 ± = 0177 ´ = 0180 º = 0186 ¼ = 0188 ½ = 0189 ¾ = 0190 For a full list go to: www.britfeld.com/aboutme/alt.htm

Thanks for posting the list. I can never remember how to do the º thing. I've got ¢ down though, lol. (alt+155 makes a ¢ also)
