It's a matter of degrees.

[Putt4eagle]

Since this forum discusses a lot about loft, I thought I would pass a kernel of knowledge along. 

 

On a windows machine (not sure about Macs), in order to type the degree symbol, you hold the Alt button and type 0176 after the number you are wishing to denote. 

 

So if I was talking about my sixty degree wedge I would type

 

60 - hold the alt key and then type 0176. 

 

The result is.... 

 

60°

 

Just my .02­¢ (¢ is 0162, by the way).

I've mistakenly been using  ALT 0186, which isn't correct.

 

ALT 0176 is correct.

 

Character map is good for a lot of things.

 

Especially those French, German, and Spanish doodles on top of some of their  letters. 

 

And vulgar fractions.

 

And other stuff.

iPhone users just hold down the zero °

 

I believe alt 167 also works for °

[Golfspy_CG2]

Trying this now 60. Nope, too much troubke, long pressing 0 didn't work. I'll continue to use *. Everyone will just have to deal 🤪

Same! * for the lazy ones!

Wow. Mind=blown

What's the bounce on a typical sixty asterisk wedge?

 

For once, being a luddite works in my favor.

 

My flip phone only works to make phone calls.

 

I post on my laptop where it's real easy to use character map.

 

°  °  °  °  °  vs. * * * * *

I've been using that for years.

For those that think its too complicated, you can also just hold option and press 0 if on a mac. it makes this: º so 60º

With my limited brain power, and selective memory, I'll probably end up hitting the wrong numbers and posting something like ®

[PlaidJacket]

My I still use the asterisk symbol? My memory is shot.

lazy *  not lazy º  It's the same number of keystrokes, so why is * lazy?

It's getting H°T in this thread... ❄️

On my keyboard (iPhone 7+) it's like 2 extra steps. Just holding the 0 long doesn't work. So yeah that's why I'm lazy at least*

 

* Indicates my opinion only

Yeah you have to hold and slide. I'll give you that but isn't it like 6 steps for an *...? Nope 3....

I'm looking for a keystroke that spells "degrees" out instead of °.

In my work, I needed character map to spell names correctly...like Mΰller, Peña, and André. It was also necessary for vulgar fractions like ⅝.
