Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. This will search your computer for the Character Map program. It's a triangular app icon at the top of the Start window. Doing so opens Character Map. You'll find this box near the bottom of the Character Map window. If the "Advanced view" checkbox is already checked, skip this step. Type degree sign into the "Search for" text box near the bottom of the window, then click Search. The Character Map's page will clear, and only the degree symbol will remain. You can also find the degree symbol in the sixth row of the Character Map window when you first open Character Map. It's in the upper-left corner of the Character Map window. This option is to the right of the "Characters to copy" text field. This might be a text document, a post on social media, or an email. Click the text field where you want to type the degree symbol, then press Ctrl+V to place the copied degree symbol there. If your computer has a number pad on the right side of the keyboard, you can use a shortcut to insert a degree symbol: Hold down the Alt key on the right side of the keyboard. Type 0176 or 248 Release the Alt key. If this doesn't work, press the Num ("Number Lock") key to turn on the number pad, then try again.
