What does ° mean?

El símbolo de grado se utiliza principalmente para registrar temperaturas en escalas como Celsius (°C) y Fahrenheit (°F), así como para medir ángulos en geometría y coordenadas geográficas de latitud y longitud. En la navegación cartográfica, acompaña a minutos y segundos de arco para definir ubicaciones terrestres exactas.

En tipografía en español, el símbolo de grado se escribe unido a la cifra cuando indica ángulos (como 45°), pero debe separarse con un espacio fino o no separable cuando precede a la escala térmica (°C). No debe confundirse con el indicador ordinal masculino (º), que lleva una barra inferior en muchas fuentes.
