messing with ALT + numerical keypad

I had to put a degree sign on one of my FB status post when I wanted to share the weather forecast to my friends but Was baffled on how to insert it.
So invoked the power of Google and called upon the search druid.
Lo and behold! I learned something new in the land of wingdings!

For special characters Press and hold ALT and type the numerical number then release ALT. Presto! Your special symbol magically appears!

To insert the degree sign;
ALT + 0176

Sirius-ly? I missed the free 2 weeks!

Wow! that freaking annoucement letter got stuck under my paper pile and the latest letter that I opened turned out to be a thank you note saying thank you for trying Sirius Satellite Radio for free.

Why am I getting the letter? Because I happened to acquire a vehicle with Sirius XM radio capable and of course the previous owner cancelled the subscription but not until after a month or so.  That’s why I got excited when I saw the thank you note but then turned into dismay when I found out it was over.

Oh well. Thank you anyways!
