Getting the "Degree" symbol
I notice a lot of people using the asterisk to show degrees. If you'd like to have the actual symbol, hold down ALT and type 167. Note: You have to use the number pad for this... don't know why. Using this combination gives you the º symbol.
Hope this is useful.

Now that's cool.
If you press ALT and any combo of numbers on the key pad, you get all kinds of neat symbols.
Thanks, matts156.

Being a printer/typesetter, I learned the hard way that IF you need a character with the accent above it (as in Spanish) you can get them using ASCII characters. (I can't read/speak Spanish, but, if you write it down, I can type it!)
I keep a 'cheat sheet' nearby for these things, like: à, á, â, ã, ä, é and the list goes on.
In the 'old days' we'd use a standard character, and then scribe the accent in, on the emulsion side of the negative. Sometimes it looked great, other times, you made it look terrible.
