── FAQ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

[+] Is the degree symbol part of standard ASCII?

No — standard ASCII stops at 127. The degree sign lives at 176 in the Latin-1 / Windows-1252 extension and at U+00B0 in Unicode, which is what "ASCII code 176" refers to in practice.

[+] ° vs º vs ˚ — which one should I use?

Use ° (U+00B0) for temperatures and angles. º (U+00BA) is the Spanish ordinal indicator and ˚ (U+02DA) is a ring diacritic — they look alike but break search and data parsing.
