When to use it
For temperatures and angles: 21 °C, 90°. SI style puts a space between the number and °C but none before the degree of an angle. Do not confuse it with the masculine ordinal (º), which looks similar in some fonts.
The name dates from HTML 4, so it works in every browser and in old email clients.
Browsers also accept the legacy form ° without a semicolon, for compatibility with old pages; new HTML should always end the reference with a semicolon.
