I did try this in the general area but would kick me off from my post.

I have been using Alt then 1674 hold the Alt key while you press 1674 then release should
put up the degree symbol but it kicks me off the page any one else try this and have the
same problem??

I'll do some searching and see if this is a bug in the PHPBB software. It might have to do with the default character set that is setup.
