Degree sign (°) is a Greek Unicode letter used in formulas, variables, science writing, and Greek-letter references within science and unit symbols in the units group.
Practical use
Use Degree sign only when that Greek letter is the intended variable, constant, or reference; keep case and lookalike Latin letters distinct.

Where this category helps
Formula variables
Science and Unit Symbols are useful in physics, math, engineering, economics, and statistics notes where Greek letters carry established meanings.
Uppercase vs lowercase
Check case carefully: uppercase and lowercase Greek letters often represent different constants, operators, or variables. For science and unit symbols, keep the surrounding label and detail notes aligned with the intended use.
Plain-text notation
Unicode Greek letters work well in notes, slides, and chat, but LaTeX or equation editors are better for complex formulas. For science and unit symbols, keep the surrounding label and detail notes aligned with the intended use.
Science and Unit Symbol Reference
Copy unit symbols and Greek letters that commonly appear in science, engineering, and lab notes.
Common unit and notation symbols
Symbols can mean different things by field, so keep surrounding units and definitions clear.
| Symbol | Unicode | Common reference |

| Ω | U+03A9 | Ohm, electrical resistance |
| µ | U+00B5 | Micro sign for metric prefixes |

| λ | U+03BB | Wavelength or lambda notation |
| ℃ | U+2103 | Degree Celsius |
