Degree Celsius Letter Meaning
℃ is the degree Celsius symbol, used to show temperature measured in degrees Celsius. It pairs with numeric values (like 20℃) to indicate the unit clearly. You’ll often see it in weather apps, product specifications, thermostat displays, cooking references, and scientific or engineering contexts where Celsius is the expected scale. As a standalone unit marker, it helps avoid confusion between Celsius and Fahrenheit. For digital use, it can be inserted directly as a character or rendered via its HTML entity (℃) or escape forms in CSS and JavaScript.
