Transcription Notes:
There have been recent discussions with the Transcription Centre as symbols such as check marks and female and male symbols have not appeared on the pdf versions of fully transcribed projects. As a result TC has asked #volunpeers to, where possible, transcribe both the symbol as well as [[words describing symbol]]. I've done this for the degree symbol here - @siobhanleachman
