Default Symbols

Several years ago, I recall learning in this NG that Alt+0176 inserted the
degree symbol, however I don't recall the background. I don't believe that
this come from the Character Map so would appreciate if someone would
clarify. I would like to see what other symbols are available using theses
codes.

Thanks

This available in many places and I believe it can be found within Me, just
can't remember where.
Heirloom, old and needs a degreeº

Odd, Alt+0186º and Alt+0176° produce very similar items...one appears
bolded.
