Degrees symbol (as in Degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit) in a TextView

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");

If Someone wants just the little circle sign without the letter, he can use:

\u00B0

Source: Unicode Character 'DEGREE SIGN'

in Activity for Celsius

tempValue.setText((resultemp) + " \u2103");

for Fahrenheit

tempValue.setText((resultemp) + " \u2109");

for Kelvin

tempValue.setText((resultemp) + " \u212A");

for Romer

tempValue.setText((resultemp) + " \u00B0R");

In xml.file for Celsius

android:text="\u2103"

for Fahrenheit

android:text="\u2109"

for Kelvin

android:text="\u212A"

for Romer

android:text="\u00B0R"

<TextView
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:text="\u00B0"/>

If sign is not visible on android studio layout preview, you need to add

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

to the root xml element.
