What does ° mean?
Das Gradzeichen wird primär für Temperaturangaben wie Grad Celsius (°C) und Grad Fahrenheit (°F) sowie zur exakten Winkelmessung in der Geometrie und Kartografie eingesetzt. In der Nautik und Vermessungstechnik dient es zusammen mit Bogenminuten und Bogensekunden der weltweiten Positionsbestimmung.
Nach den deutschen typografischen DIN-Regeln (DIN 5008) steht das Gradzeichen bei Winkelangaben ohne Leerzeichen direkt an der Zahl (z. B. 45°), während bei Temperaturangaben ein geschütztes Leerzeichen vor dem Einheitenzeichen folgt (°C).
