Temperature and Unit Symbols
Copy temperature units, change, uncertainty, threshold, and trend symbols for measurements and notes.
Temperature writing rarely needs only a degree sign, so this set keeps units, ΔT, uncertainty, thresholds, and trends side by side.

Accurate use
Technical and compatibility guide
Use this page to write temperature values, scales, changes, and tolerances. The degree sign identifies an angle or combines with C/F; it does not identify a temperature scale by itself.
| Character | Unicode | HTML | LaTeX |
|---|---|---|---|
| °Degree sign | U+00B0 | ° | ^\circ |
| ℃Degree Celsius compatibility character | U+2103 | ℃ | ^\circ\mathrm{C} |
| ℉Degree Fahrenheit compatibility character | U+2109 | ℉ | ^\circ\mathrm{F} |
Common mistakes
- For searchable, editable text, prefer the two-character sequences °C and °F over the single compatibility characters ℃ and ℉.
- Do not confuse ° (degree sign) with º (masculine ordinal indicator) or ˚ (ring above); they have different code points.
Word, Docs, Notion, and plain text
The sequences °C and °F paste cleanly into Word, Google Docs, Notion, and plain text. Exact spacing conventions depend on the document style, so keep one style consistent rather than mixing 37°C and 37 °C.
