What is Word's non-printing symbol that is a small circle (looks like a “degrees” mark)?












4














What is Word's non-printing symbol that is a small circle (looks like a "degrees" mark)? I haven't found this in other articles, web searches, forums. Is it a new version of "keep with next"?



This comes up regularly when copy/pasting from a gmail draft into Word for the purpose of fixing formatting (gmail often scrambles my formatting even if it looks right before I hit send).



These are helpful but still don't contain the mark I'm looking for:

What does this nonprinting symbol mean in Microsoft Word?

It's a non-breaking space.





Space Characters




A degree symbol ° represents a non-breaking space (Ctrl+Shift+Space), which you can use to prevent words from being separated at the end of a line.
