Bullet Shortcut

Hello All

My keyboard shortcut for a Bullet Point has changed across the board on my Imac. In any application I would use the following command: shift-Alt-Number 8 at the same time. Instead of a bullet I now get this ( ° ) instead of ( • ). This just started happening and I've no idea why. Can anyone help, thanks

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Keyboard Shortcut Not Working I have several accounts on the iMac "shift cmd c" works as it should on every account bar one. In order to get the same outcome as "shift cmd c" on my main account I have to utilise the fn key: fn shift cmd c Why? In fact the "why" is not important; I would just like the shortcut "shift cmd c" to do what it does on every other account, without my holding down the fn key. I have attempted the following System Preferences/ Keyboard/ Shortcuts/ App Shortcuts + (either) All Applications (or) Finder "shift cmd c" and nothing happens. I have looked though as many apps as I can to see if there is a conflict but none appears apparent. Any ideas?

Symbol Shortcuts Hello, I have a 13-inch, 2017 MacBook Pro and I've recently come up with an issue with my shortcuts for the symbols, such as @. Usually to type the @ symbol, I should only have to press the combination of the option + 2 keys, but lately, in order to type it, I have to press the following combination: fn + option + 2. How can I reset the shortcuts for the symbols? I have this issue with a few other symbols. Thanks

As far as I know, the combination for a bullet point has always been ⌥ 8 (Option-Number 8). I've used Shift-Option-8 for the degree symbol for as long as I've been using a Mac.
