![]() Therefore, whether a particular reader whose native language is English will understand "Nº" to mean "number" is a chancy business. ![]() ![]() It's a lot like inverted question marks and exclamation points (¿¡), which English doesn't use either. I happen to know how to use an "º" in Windows but many Americans who know more about computers and data processing than I do not know how to do this, and in any case it requires extra keystrokes. That suggests that "Nº" has never been used in English-speaking countries as an abbreviation for "Number" or anything else. I don't think keyboards for other English-speaking countries do either, even though there are some variations from the American keyboard (such as inclusion of "£"). Unlike those used in some other languages, American keyboards don't include either a superior lower-case "o" (º) or "Nº" together as a single character.
