Usage notes
Important distinctions
- For angles, the degree sign normally follows the number without a space, as in 30°.
- Temperature units add a letter: °C or °F. The degree sign alone does not identify a temperature scale.
Accurate use
Technical and compatibility guide
Use ° after a number for an angle, or before C/F as part of a temperature unit. The symbol alone does not identify a temperature scale.
Common mistakes
- Do not substitute º (U+00BA masculine ordinal indicator) or ˚ (U+02DA ring above) for ° (U+00B0 degree sign).
- Use the two-character text °C or °F when editability and search compatibility matter more than the single compatibility characters ℃ or ℉.
Word, Docs, Notion, and plain text
Word can insert U+00B0 with its Unicode-code workflow; Google Docs and Notion accept the copied character directly. Plain text preserves ° but does not enforce spacing or unit style.
