使用する際の注意点

• In technical contexts, the symbol should always include both the degree symbol ⟨°⟩ and the ⟨C⟩ identifying the scale, as the symbol ⟨C⟩ alone is used for coulombs. In informal usage, where the meaning is clear, the degree symbol is sometimes omitted (in part because the degree symbol is generally not one of the keys on a keyboard).
