U+00B0 Degree Sign

U+00B0 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+0080 to U+00FF Latin-1 Supplement in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.

The glyph is not a composition. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it is written as end of a European number, e.g., a currency symbol, from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+00B0 prohibits a line break before it, if it follows a number. The glyph can be confused with 9 other glyphs.

The CLDR project calls this character “degree” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: hour, proof.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The degree symbol or degree sign, °, is a glyph or symbol that is used, among other things, to represent degrees of arc (e.g. in geographic coordinate systems), hours (in the medical field), degrees of temperature or alcohol proof. The symbol consists of a small superscript circle.
