Abstract: We prove that when $q$ is a power of $2$, every complex irreducible representation of $mathrmSp(2n,mathbb{F}_q)$ may be defined over the real numbers, that is, all Frobenius-Schur indicators are 1. We also obtain a generating function for the sum of the degrees of the unipotent characters of $mathrmSp(2n,mathbb{F}_q)$, or of $mathrmSO(2n+1,mathbb{F}_q)$, for any prime power $q$.
