  -> I would not be that sure, Sven... The note in brackets may be just a side comment
agree  Balasubramaniam L.: Hmmm, you could probably be right !
1 hr
  -> the question is not clearly stated :(
agree  gtreyger (X): The question is very clear. This is a translation website, not "how to figure out computers" website! The question was NOT how to type a degree symbol. It was "what is 350F/180C?".
2 hrs
  -> At least that was my first and only thought :) If the question is how to type °, it should be squashed as a forum question for technical support

another option if you're using MSWord or the like


Explanation:
If you're using an application like Word, click "Insert" menu. You'll see 'Symbol' as an option. Click it and you'll get all kinds of symbols and special characters. Each symbol is situated inside a square. How each symbol is situated in relations to the text alphabets is how it is situated in that square. There's quite a few small open circles that you can use to denote the degree symbol very well. Good luck.

  -> Thank you very much!
agree  vixen: Alt+0176 or Insert > Symbol > degree symbol
1 hr
  -> Thank you very much!
neutral  gtreyger (X): Is this the answer to the askers question? What is 350F/180C? //Then you should've redirected the asker to a tech forum. :-)
1 hr
  -> No, but the question is not "What is 350F/180C? "!!!!!!!!!!!
neutral  PAS: But it is - the bold type says "350F/180C", so assuming we all know how this site is constructed, _that_ is the question. In the brackets the asker only writes that he doesn't know how to write the degree symbol on the web site.

When you open Character Map, and select any symbol by clicking on it, you will be able see on the bottom left corner, the key combination that can be used to reproduce the symbol in your programme.

In Word you can do this by keeping the Alt key down and then typing the number that is shown in the bottom left corner of the Character Map (in this case 0176).

30 mins
  -> :-) I have a feeling that we have all got it wrong. Did you notice that this question was posted originally as an Eng-Malay question. Probably malaybuddy wants a Malay translation to this one. I wonder why Ramona redirected it to Eng (monolingual).
neutral  PAS: No, we haven't. Language pair errors are commonplace on ProZ and maybe someone does not know that "F" and "C" are symbols describing units of temperature, not to be translated./// But hasn't Kirill already done so?
