How do I copy a degree sign?

Enter your value, choose the Degree Sign row or a unit such as Celsius or Fahrenheit, and select Copy. The result is ordinary text that you can paste into a document, message, spreadsheet, or caption.

Is ° the same as the masculine ordinal indicator?

No. The degree sign is U+00B0 and is used for measurements. The masculine ordinal indicator is a different character, U+00BA, even though some fonts make them look similar.

Should there be a space before °C?

In scientific typesetting, a space commonly appears between the number and °C, as in 20 °C. In casual writing, 20°C is also widely understood. Follow the style guide for your document.

Does this convert Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin temperatures?

No. The rows format the number you entered with a different unit or symbol; they do not calculate an equivalent temperature. Existing temperature suffixes are replaced to avoid duplicates. Kelvin uses K without a degree sign, such as 273.15 K.

Can I use the degree symbol on mobile?

Yes. Copy it from this page and paste it into any field that accepts text. The generator is free and runs in your browser without an account.

The degree symbol is the small raised circle used for temperature, angles, geographic coordinates, and academic measurements. This Fontique degree symbol generator gives you a clean ° character first, followed by practical combinations such as 20 °C, 68 °F, 90°, and latitude or longitude notation. Type a value or phrase and compare the formats before copying the one you need. Because the output is Unicode text rather than an image, it works in documents, spreadsheets, email, messaging apps, social captions, and code comments. The tool does not replace the text you type, upload a file, or require a keyboard shortcut. It simply keeps the symbol close at hand when your keyboard does not have a dedicated degree key. Use the quick examples for common temperatures and angles, or enter your own value. If you need a poster with a designed temperature label, send the text to an AI style page after copying it.

What this is based on

Styled Unicode letters were encoded for mathematics, not for bios — which is exactly why support varies by app and why some letters arrive as boxes.

The use of these alphabets to simulate styled text appearance in plain text environments is an unintended side effect. Putting these alphabets in Plane 1 rather than in Plane 0 was meant to discourage people from using these characters in this way.
