<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>ª or º in numbers should not be confused with a degree symbol. <br>
<br>
ª or º in written languages is an <i>ordinal indicator</i>. It is a sign adjacent to a numeral denoting that the number is an ordinal number rather than a cardinal number, such as 7 º<br>
<br>
Whether the ª or º sign used varies in different languages. <font color="black" face="arial" size="2">

<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was asked a question today that stumped me. Go to the following link to see what I am talking about:</div>
<div><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1058" class="Object-hover"></span> </div>
<div><span class="Object-hover"><a target="_blank" href="http://archive.org/stream/spaldingmemorialcad00spal#page/n39/mode/2up"><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #e3da93" color="#00008b">http://archive.org/stream/spaldingmemorialcad00spal#page/n39/mode/2up</font></a></span></div>
<div><span class="Object-hover"></span> </div>
<div><span class="Object-hover">There is a symbol next to some of the numbers. I would normally associate this symbol with temperature or degrees. This doesn't make sense in the context of the information. It must have something to do with the date the person was born.</span></div>
<div><span class="Object-hover"></span> </div>
<div><span class="Object-hover">Anyone know what it means?</span></div>
<div><span class="Object-hover"></span> </div>
<div><span class="Object-hover">Thanks!!!</span></div>
<div><span class="Object-hover"></span> </div>
<div><span class="Object-hover">Marcus</span></div>
