Anyone knows how to type a Simplified Chinese degree symbol (°) on a regular English keyboard? Thanks.

2What is a "Simplified Chinese degree symbol"? Are you talking about「度」? – dROOOze Aug 9 '19 at 16:02

2@droooze I would've thought s/he meant some full-space Chinese version of the degree symbol like ， instead of , but there's no such unicode mark. I would've thought s/he meant some fast encoding of the degree symbol on Chinese keyboards, but default Chinese keyboards don't produce degree signs either. So, yeah, I have no idea what they're talking about. – lly Aug 9 '19 at 18:18

I tried to display °(Alt+0176) in my Chinese application. It displayed garbage when I compiled and ran my program. I assume there must be a different ° in Chinese code page. I may have found one a minute ago, which is Atl+0186. It displays a ° with an underscore. Not sure if it is the right one. – user22518 Aug 9 '19 at 18:56
Chinese word processors have the option to use U+2103 ℃ or U+2104 ℉, to get over the typographical problem of displaying a degree much closer to the C or F than otherwise allowable in fullwidth text.
However, it is also true that the Chinese 度 is used more commonly in everyday text and in most newspapers; my personal contact with ℃ has been in academic papers.
Both of these are in the Unicode block "Letterlike Symbols", alongside ℏ, the "Planck constant Over Two Pi" U+210F and Ω the Ohm sign U+2126; most common is likely the ™ trademark sign U+2122, also repurposed in modern Chinese's Internet slang.
In China，people use input software to type.For me,I choose Baidu Input.So I just type "du" on keyboard,then I can choose ° from it，or as I type "wendu" on keyboard,℃ is on the list for choose.
Maybe, you should need a Chinese Input application. You can use this symbol："。。。。。"
