When editing a cell value in the attribute table, it would be great if there were a picklist in the attribute table that would insert common symbols into the cell text. For example, the degrees symbol.

I'm aware that there are Windows keyboard shortcuts for symbols: Type the Degree Symbol like a GIS Pro. I think it would be more reasonable to get users to click a button compared to memorizing numeric keyboard shortcuts.

Have you used the WIN + :   (windows key with ':'  ) combo?

That would be a really useful feature! A built-in symbol picker could save time and ensure consistency blinds Conroe tx, especially for frequently used symbols like °, ±, or µ. Hope this gets considered.
