Yeah, it's not even a double prefix like the article implies. It's 10 with a suffix, and m with a prefix.
Also, no one outside of scientific papers is going to type the degree symbol for temperature because it's not a common feature of keyboards.
Of english keyboards. Which honestly annoys the hell out of me because I am very used to german keyboards which do have it, but I switched to UK layout at some point because I generally prefer it. It's like the one thing I miss.
Do you mean physical computer keyboards? If you’re on a Windows or Linux machine I’m pretty sure there’s an alt code for it, but I never remember what any of those are. On a Mac computer you can hit option+0 to get the ° symbol.
On Apple devices with on-screen keyboards you just long-press zero to get the the ° symbol, that’s how I’m typing right now. I’d assume android has the same feature but idk I haven’t used an Android enough to the point I needed to type ° in 6 years or so.
To the other persons point, this is all on American English keyboards, but I don’t see why there would be any difference between that and a UK English keyboard, or any other keyboard language with a Latin-script alphabet for that matter.
