@david Aaaw crap, me too. The heck is that font doing, not putting a little line under the ordinal symbol? I feel like such a fool.

@futzle @david

I have been lucky, [compose] o o does the right thing.

One can, of course, be more explicit: ℃, or even ℉ when under duress

wrt font, well, this one (b612) seemingly gets it right at least.

@uep @futzle There doesn’t seem to be a keyboard shortcut (on Mac) for the unicode symbol (U+2103) ℃

Although I’m happy to be proven wrong.
