The Ctrl+Shift+u thing works out of the box, while the Compose key thing perhaps needs you to do some easy settings, like deciding which key is the compose key. I use Caps Lock for it, since it's a totally useless key anyway. So in my case I press Caps Lock, release it, then press o twice. Then the ° appears. Caps Lock o c gives a ©, Caps Lock % o gives a â° and so on. To set which key is the compose key, click [System â Preferences â Keyboard â Layouts â Layout options⦠â Position for the Compose key] (or something like that â I have the Swedish version of Ubuntu so I just translated from Swedish).

If so you should be able to use it to insert, based on the font used, just about any thing you want.

In the dialogue box that comes up, make sure you select a font that contains the required symbol (e.g., Times New Roman) and then look for what you want in the array of characters. I see the degree symbol in the 8th row. Or are you looking for a shortcut? - Robert |
