Why no degree symbol on keyboards?

[Hermann]

Strange. German Keyboards allways have it. °°°°°°°

Their OCD would not let them type -21c Long live Alt+248

Do they also have a way to use an umlaut?

You mean like this? 32°

On iOS, hold down the zero key and the degree option shows.

I just DDGed it.

How about on OS Monterey?
Never mind I found it.

Yes, hold down the vowel and all the accent combos will appear.

Of course, as easy as it gets. Together with the degree symbol.

Two names in my lineage and Schürch and Rüetz. Easy to do on the phone.

Ok, how about the C with a line thru it for "cents"??

Only on an Internet forum would any one be anal enough to care about that symbol.

Typing this on Monterey and "Option+0" works just fine. There are more obscure or less common symbols that are only accessible the way you describe though.

° wow never knew this (on my iPhone) but in this forum it would be better to stick with F or C since many are outside the USA or at least don’t leave them out

Option + 0 did not work for me!
