Windows Alt codes need the numeric keypad with Num Lock on. No keypad? Copying from this page is faster anyway.

Copy the degree symbol

Click the ° above and it is on your clipboard, ready to paste into a weather note, an oven temperature, a recipe, a maths answer, or a coordinate. It is a single Unicode character (U+00B0), so it pastes cleanly into any app, document, spreadsheet, or message on any device.

Degrees for temperature, angles, and coordinates

The same sign covers 20°C, a 90° angle, and 48°51′24″N. For temperatures you can either pair ° with C or F, or use the single characters ℃ and ℉. For coordinates, minutes and seconds use the prime marks ′ and ″ rather than quotation marks, and both are in the grid above.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type the degree symbol on Windows?

Hold Alt and type 0176 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt. On laptops without a keypad, the fastest route is copying the ° at the top of this page.

How do I type the degree symbol on a Mac?

Press Option+Shift+8 for the degree sign. Option+0 gives the masculine ordinal (º), which looks similar but is a different character, so use Option+Shift+8 for temperatures.

How do I type degrees on a phone?

On both iPhone and Android, long-press the 0 key on the number keyboard and the ° appears in the popup. Or copy it from here once and let your clipboard do the work.

What is the difference between ° and º?

° (U+00B0) is the degree sign for temperature and angles. º (U+00BA) is the masculine ordinal indicator used in Spanish and Portuguese, and ˚ (U+02DA) is the ring diacritic. They look alike but searching, sorting, and some forms treat them differently.

Is there a shortcut for °C and °F?

Unicode actually has single characters ℃ (U+2103) and ℉ (U+2109), both on this page. In normal writing, ° followed by C or F is more common and displays more consistently.
