Well, it should be exactly the same way as you would create it in any other application such as your shell.

How to place a degree symbol in a JLabel

I'm trying to place a degree symbol in a JLabel with the following code
JLabel label = new JLabel ("<html>&#186</html>");but all I'm getting is the literal, not the degree symbol.

It's close enough, but here's what I really have:Turns out it wasn't quite close enough.
The <html> tag has to be the very first thing in the
string.
So, change this to:
final String DEGREE_SYMBOL = "�";
String degrees...
String minutes...
String labelStr = "<html>" + degrees +DEGREE_SYMBOL + minutes + "'";
JLabel label = new JLabel (labelStr);
That got 1 of the 3 instances working, so I'm narrowing it down (thank you). I'll just have to keep plugging until I get it figured out.
thanks for your help.

In pages how do you make or type a degree symbol?

We are trying to type up a report for my son and he wants to state a temprature using the numbers and a degree charchter however we do no see how to do this.

I thought it was odd you asking that question but now that I re-read it, I see I skipped over the actual question (though I'm not 100% certain it was a real question) and answered a statement. In my defense, sometimes people "ask" questions that way.
I preface my responses with statements like "On the US keyboard", "In the US iTunes store" or whatever when there is some indication that the person asking is from outside the US and it might affect the answer. That didn't seem to be the case here.
Option Shift 8 is for the US keyboard. It might apply to other keyboard layouts as well.

How to type a Copyright Symbol

does the new elements 11 have the uk copyright symbol in the text options.
Message title was edited by: Brett N

In elements 10, if your on a windows machine and when using the Type Tool, you can press the keyboard shortcut Alt+0169 from the numeric keypad to insert a copyright symbol.
On a mac i believe it would be Option+G
There is also a copyright symbol in the custom shapes>symbols preset
As far as i know pse 11 is the same.

How to type the symbol ^?

How to type the symbol ^ on a MB Pro 13' AZERTY keyboard ? Thanks.

It is really easy: the ^ is above the 6. But I assume you want to use it with a letter like ê : you do this by holding the Alt)option) key while clicking the 6 key, then let go and type the letter you want underneath it.
I will give some others: alt+e then the letter, alt+u then the letter, etc.
Another alternative: go to SystemPreferences/Keyboard, check the "show keyboard and character viewers in the menubar", they will stay in the menubar as a little flag. When clicking the flag-icon you can either choose the keyboard layout and see where the characters are or the character panel and there you can choose any character that you want: it will insert the character that you click on the spot where your mousepointer is. I made a short list of "favorites" everytime I used this panel.

Isn't PKGBUILD just a script? It calls what you make it calls by adding commands...

How to type Apple symbol?

In the past I've used the Option+Shift+k to get the Apple symbol, but now, even in Helvetica that key combination produces the degree symbol. I know there has to be a key combo that works.

Sounds like you have the US Extended keyboard active instead of the one called US. Switch back to US and you will find  at the usual place. (US Extended does not have one)

Best way to insert Degree symbol?

Hello,
I have an inspection form set up for restaurant/health inspectors.    Often times during an inspection they need to enter temperatures of food and like to use the degree symbol.    They're running this form on a convertible tablet pc, so a normal keyboard is not available to them in tablet mode and when in laptop mode using the combination of ALT+0176 that's still a PITA because the keyboard doesn't have full number pad and the people using this form aren't the most computer literate people out there to be able to activate the Function keys to endable number pad keys and then enter an ASCII code many times during an inspection.
I was looking for suggestion on how to inforporate something into the form to assist in entering the degree symbol in any text field they are in at the position of the cursor.
The idea's I've though of are:
1.) A command button that inserts the symbol, but I'm afraid clicking the button would lose focus of the destination field and there'd need to be a lot of scripting to remember which field was the last one they were in to insert it in the correct one.
2.) A Button or On Load event which somehow inserts the degree symbol into the Windows clipboard, but during the course of an inspection they might copy and paste something else thus clearing it out.
3.) Some kind of auto-replace of text. Not sure if that's possible in an adobe form. E.g. if they type 'deg.' have the form auto replace it to '°'.
4.) A special key press. Not sure if Adobe can listen to a special key sequence not used by Adobe and Windows, say CTRL + D which when pressed inserts a degree symbol in the current location.
5.) Any way to place a special icon on Adobe's tool bar to insert the degree symbol at the currently location?
Those were some ideas I'm thinking of. Many are probably dead ends.   If you had this problem, how would you approach it?
Thanks!
-Mike

Magnus, thanks for not giving up on this yet.   In your last post that is making some progress, but there's also some con's too.
1.) That's running off of an 'On Exit' even which inserts the ºF at the end of the text.   In some cases that would work, but it others it would not work, like in this text field example of real data:      "White fish was a 51°F. *Corrected* Witnessed manager throw away fish."
With your proposed java, that would put the °F at the end of the line when it needs to be in the middle of the line.
2.) Many types of written text can be put in these fields. Not every scenario would involve a temperature, so having it pop up your popupmenu might get in their way when it is not needed.
What I'm thinking needs to be done is to somehow insert the °F exactly wherever the cursor is at the time when it is triggered to do so (how to trigger it?).
OR
On an On Exit event searcingh for and replacing the text they have entered.   Perhaps replace ' deg' with '°F' so that if they type:
      "White fish was a 51 deg. *Corrected* Witnessed manager throw away fish."
When the On Exit fires it replace deg with °F so that the text field now reads:
      "White fish was a 51°F. *Corrected* Witnessed manager throw away fish."
