@AniruddhaDeb On macOS a degree symbol is called via Option+Shift+8, I believe.

Tech note: ˚ is a Unicode symbol that means "a ring above" (U+02DA); if you want to depict a degree symbol, then use °, "a degree sign" (U+00B0). Cherry-picking a random character that looks approximately the same as the correct one is a horrible practice.

| Nov 21, 2019 at 15:39 | comment | added | studious | So it should be one -OH group or two -OH groups on the opposite sides of 2 molecules for them to be enantiomers of each other? | |
