Hi, how can create a text label with special charecters, like H2O, cm, Fº, etc?

Thanks in advance for help.

to type special characters hold alt and type the decimal ascii character º is ALT +0186 (Only works with the number pad)

You can also get the special symbols using Word.  Just copy/paste it over.

My preferred method on Windoze is to use the Character Map. Either type 'charmap' at the Run prompt or Start -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map.

Interesting.  I've always used Alt-0176 for the degree symbol.  It looks °º.  The first one (0176) is a smaller symbol than the second (0186).

According to Character Map 0176 is the degree sign.  0186 is the "masculine ordinal indicator".  I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.
