I recently discovered \mathring and hence there is a further variant a\mathring{}$a\mathring{}$ which is neither circ$a^\circ$ nor the actual unicode symbol $a°$

use hex as that is used in other Unicode examples

added note on accessibility, and fixed some formatting

| Oct 10, 2018 at 4:16 | comment | added | StephenG - Help Ukraine | @MvG I have added an entry to the "renders as" table for keyboard entry (which frankly looks awful IMO) but regarding your "unhappiness" note only one line was deleted from the version preceding my first edit and I regard your belief that this justifies your claim my edit was "unhelpful" is nonsense. I fail to see how undoing my edit helps anyone but you. | |

Add a line to tabel showing keyboard version rendering

I just wrote a feature request for a \degree symbol, since I believe it would be technically easy and conceptually beneficial to have such a symbol defined for the whole site.

@StephenG: I'm not happy with your latest edit. I feel that it is not helpful to users if we suggest even more ways to poorly format that symbol (like ^o imho), or to mention a LaTeX approach just to say it won't work. You deleted the example for 45°, but kept the sentence talking about it, including the colon. I'm reluctant to revert your edit on a CW page without a conversation, but as it stands I see the edit as a change for the worse. Can we find a combined solution?

| May 31, 2018 at 14:41 | comment | added | user427802 | Actually we can write degrees by 90^o (O for Orange, using lowercase o, like 'o'), and it'd render it close to degrees symbol $$90^o + 30 ^o + 45^o$$ | |

| Apr 20, 2017 at 22:24 | comment | added | MvG | @Joffan: 167 is the decimal representation of the Codepoint for ° in Latin 1, Unicode and CP-1252. Without the leading zero, CP-437 gets applied instead, at least in typical English-speaking countries, so you'd use Alt+248 there. The Wikipedia article I linked to already describes those two ways of entering the symbol, and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code has some more details. | |

Degree sign can generally be typed by holding down Alt and typing 0176 on the numeric keypad. ° (I don't know how international the actual number is). The leading zero is required.

On my display, ° looks bad and ^\circ looks good: a.pomf.se/xnlfyg.png

| Feb 17, 2015 at 23:43 | comment | added | dustin | I am not a mathjax expert. I just know latex. I just gave that suggestion in case they were available. Siunitx would be a great package to have. If you aren't familiar, you will see the advantage by scanning the documentation on ctan. | |

@dustin: I couldn't find siunitx or gensymb mentioned anywhere in the MatJax source repository. Are they available as some kind of third-party extension? If so, where? Since MathJax is not LaTeX, packages can't be loaded unless they have been migrated. By the way, all occurrences of “degree” in the MathJax sources refer to something else, as far as I can tell, so there really doesn't seem to be a \degree macro. There should be one, imho.
