degree symbol (weather program)

[Guest]

VC++
VS 2003

I am currently finishing up a weather bug program that receives data from
the weather.com weather feed, just need some finishing touches. The one
issue I have run into seems to be a simple one in the grand scheme of things.
How do I go about printing a degree symbol for the temperature? Is there an
ASCII code for it, or some sort of shortcut key? I want to add it to a
string so I can print it out in a label with the rest of the temperature.

Hi,

check out http://www.lookuptables.com/
ascii code 167 or 248 seem to be what you are looking for.

kind regards,
Bruno.

Hi Neal!

In general: You should use UNICODE.
