text character symbols

[obmet]

Would anyone know how to access different text symbols in FHMXa?

I am particularly looking for the degree symbol - as in 16 degrees centigrade.

TIA,

John

Try using ALT and the following numerals 0176 or 0186

AFAIK you do it the same as in any other Windows program: take a look at the
Character Map to find the appropriate Alt code and type it in. For "degree"
it's: Alt + 0186 (typed on the numeric keypad).
