How it works
Writing a weather report, a lab temperature report, or documenting an electrical circuit often involves symbols missing from standard keyboards (°, Ω, µ, ±…). Click the symbol you want to copy it instantly, then paste it into your document, email, or spreadsheet.
How do I type the degree symbol directly on the keyboard?
On Windows, the Alt+0176 combination (numeric keypad) inserts a °. On Mac, it's Option+Shift+8 (Alt+Shift+8). On a smartphone, you generally need to press and hold the "0" key on the virtual keyboard to bring up the symbol as an option. Copy-pasting from this page remains the fastest solution if you don't remember these shortcuts.
What's the difference between ℃ and °C?
℃ is a single Unicode character representing "degree Celsius" in one glyph, inherited from usage in East Asia, while "°C" is the composition of two separate characters (° then C). Both display very similarly, but "°C" (two characters) is recommended in most Western documents for better compatibility and more consistent spacing.
Do these symbols work in Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes: a symbol copied from this page pastes like regular text into a spreadsheet cell, a formula concatenating text, or a chart label. No special format is required.
