Question

Is there a way to include the small circular degrees symbol to a TextView? This would be for temperature readings, as in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
I’m wondering if anyone has done this programmatically before.

Answer 1

There is a Unicode symbol for Celsius degrees that you can use in Java: \u2103. For Fahrenheit you can use \u2109.

I have confirmed this works on Android Nexus S running Android version 2.3.6.

Example code:

temperatureValue.setText((result) + " \u2109");
