:::Hehe ;) Well I checked the Unicode codepoints for the characters you've written and got 00BA back ;) so I was pretty sure that it's different.

How are you able to board the Aeris 3A?

Hi, how are you able to board the Aeris 3A as you said here? I'm stuck on the ladder which is to far back, so I can't reach to the cockpit. — xZise [talk] 16:15, 18 November 2013 (CST)

It's a case of getting to the top of the ladder, then jumping onto the winglet using Shift+D+Space. Not the easiest thing to do, not 100% reliable, but it is possible. --Murph (talk) 23:15, 18 November 2013 (CST)

Ordinal character vs degree symbol

Hi I noticed you use the masculine ordinal character (º; U+00BA) instead of the degree symbol (°; U+00B0). There is technically a difference, so if possible it would be good when you use the degree symbol in the future. — xZise [talk] 11:15, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Damn, you're probably right! I thought it was opt+0 (OS X 10.10) for it, but I'll gladly accept that could be the wrong magic keypress. I'll try to figure out the correct one. Thanks.  :-)
--Murph (talk) 13:06, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Yup, you are absolutely correct. opt+0, which I mistakenly used, gives:
º
MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR
Unicode: U+00BA, UTF-8: C2 BA
I needed shift+opt+8, which gives:
°
DEGREE SIGN
Unicode: U+00B0, UTF-8: C2 B0
Now I just need to somehow remember that obscure key combination for the next time… ;-)
