What about |175 and 175| ?
The vertical line can probably fit without decreasing font much.
Any suggestions for the opencpn plugin and web interface where screen space is less of an issue?
Should work. Realistically There are limits on what you can do for wind on a simple digital display. Often the windex gyrates over an annoyingly wide angle.
When you have more room and a color display maybe something like this:

Seen some other displays like that.
Could display, course, heading, wind and a lot of other info. Limited by distinctive colors and when it's just too darn cluttered.
Not really sure if something like that should be part of web or opencpn plugin.
Maybe a separate window for opencpn??
Sort of off subject but as the boat rolls it affects the wind readying. Mainly a down wind issue. With roll and hast height could remove that for true wind reading. Then again the sails need to deal with apparent wind. May not be useful.
