You can directly type the degree symbol into your string literals in your script. For example:<\/p>\n<pre><code>using TMPro; \/\/ Ensure you have TextMeshPro imported\n\npublic class TemperatureDisplay : MonoBehaviour {\n    public TextMeshProUGUI temperatureLabel;\n\n    void Start() {\n        float currentTemperature = 23.5f; \/\/ Example temperature\n        temperatureLabel.text = currentTemperature.ToString() + \"\u00b0C\";\n    }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n<h3>HTML Entities for UI Elements<\/h3>\n<p>When working with HTML elements within the Unity UI, if needed, you can also use HTML entities to represent the degree symbol. Although this is more common in web development, if you were integrating HTML content in an embedded scenario, the HTML entity could be <code>&amp;deg;<\/code>. This method ensures compatibility across various platforms and devices.<\/p><div style=\"clear: both; margin: 20px 0;\"><h4 style=\"color: #4D54FBCE; margin-bottom: 10px;\">Play free games on Playgama.com<\/h4><div id=\"widget-playgama\" style=\"height: 237px;\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>ASCII and Alt Codes<\/h3>\n<p>If you are inputting the degree symbol in an environment that supports ASCII or Alt codes, such as using an external text editor or input on a Windows OS before importing into Unity, you can use <b>Alt+0176<\/b> to insert the symbol. However, ASCII ranges may not always be consistent across platforms, making Unicode or direct entry more reliable within Unity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Displaying the Degree Symbol in Unity\u2019s UI Using Unicode Characters One of the simplest methods to display the degree symbol (\u00b0) in Unity\u2019s UI elements, such as a TextMeshPro component or a GUILayout.Label, is by using Unicode characters.
