That depends on how many you know. I only know two of em:Does knowing how to directly enter unicode characters automatically define you as a nerd, or does the definition only apply when you start memorizing individual codes?
± is alt + 177
° is alt + 176
That is because those are my most frequently used, and I typically have to try them both as I never remember which is which.
However, I am a fully qualified nerd due to temperament and inclination.
See my pretty kitteahs up there? I snatched em out of a bush when their momma abandoned them when they were but 2 weeks old. I promptly started to weigh them every day, and since I oft say "if you don't write it down it didn't happen" I took to recording their daily morning weight.
In Excel. And of course I added a chart to the top so I can see how they are progressing.
Nerd is what nerd does.
It drives my wife loopy too, but the funny thing was last week the bigger kitteh wasn't eating and wasn't as big as his formerly runty brother. First day the wife told me it doesn't matter, next day she called me all worried, said she weighed em both and one weighed not 3 pounds but the other one weighed more so what did that mean?
All I could think of was "it doesn't mean anything unless you have a list of how much they weighed every day since we got them."
Not that I said that, of course. <grin>
alt+234 works in my notepad which is now and forever set to Courier New as I prefer a fixed font for tabulations and most especially CODE.
Verdana was the font of choice after long discussion at my company from years back, I think what sealed it was the difference between "1" "I" and "l" (number 1, capital eye, lower ell). I use it in all procedures.
Now when making drawings I prefer Verdana for the "boiler plate" (parts of the drawing that are the format) and Stylus BT for additional notes. Stylus BT ships with Autocad and it looks like a skilled draftsman's hand written letters, thus it goes to the part of the brain that says "someone wrote this note specifically for me to read) and gets a higher brain priority.
