I’ve noticed a lack of basic punctuation in online conversations: everything from using the degree sign to em dashes. As a result, I put together this handy table so people could see how easy it is to use proper punctuation.
Let me know in the comments if there are other punctuation marks you’d like to know how to do.
| Name | Symbol | Mac | PC |
| Degree | ° | Shift + Option + 8 | Alt + 0176 |
| Em dash | — | Shift + Option + – | Alt + 0151 |
| En dash | – | Option + – | Alt + 0150 |
| Left double | “ | Option + [ | Alt + 0147 |
| Right double | ” | Shift + Option [ | Alt + 0148 |
| Left single | ‘ | Option + ] | Alt + 0145 |
| Right single | ’ | Shift + Option + ] | Alt + 0146 |
| Cent | ¢ | Option + 4 | Alt + 0162 |
