1 Press and hold the "Alt" key on your keyboard. 2 While holding down the "Alt" key, input the number "174," which is the number of the letter or symbol "" in the ASCII table. 3 The cursor will be placed on top of the last character written. 4 Release all keys except the "Alt" key. That's it! You now have an angle quote (°) on your keyboard. If you need more angles, just repeat steps 1-4 with "174." For example, "165°" would be typed as "Alt+174."" Angles are used to describe directions. There are 180 degrees in a circle. At any given moment, an angle can be described by naming it, starting at 0 degrees (due north) and counting clockwise until reaching 360 degrees (due south). For example, "15 degrees" means that the pointer is pointing fifteen degrees west of north. Writing an angle quote requires holding down the "Alt" key and typing the number of the degree position you want the cursor to point to. When writing quotes like these, it's helpful to use the "number lock" feature on most keyboards. This will prevent you from accidentally pressing other numbers while writing angles. An angle quote is useful for describing directions.
