Graadtekeniaal

Graadtekeniaal is a Dutch term that translates to "degree symbol" in English. It is a symbol used to represent degrees of temperature, angles, or other measurements. The most common use of the graadtekeniaal is in the Celsius scale for temperature measurement, where it is placed after the numerical value to indicate degrees. For example, "25°C" represents 25 degrees Celsius. The symbol itself is a small circle (o) with a line through it, resembling the letter "o" with a diagonal line. In typography, the graadtekeniaal is often represented by the Unicode character U+00B0 (°). It is also used in mathematics and engineering to denote angles, such as in "45°" to represent 45 degrees. The graadtekeniaal is a widely recognized and standardized symbol in various fields, ensuring clear and consistent communication of measurements.
