Android set degree symbol to Textview

Question

How can I set the degree symbol to a TextView in Android?

You can add/display ANY symbol using (char) . For finding unicodes of various symbols goto http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~tomw/java/unicode.html#x2200 — Lakhwinder Singh Dhillon, Feb 01 '16 at 15:14

The unicode value for it is U+00B0 so you could do the following:

myTextView.setText ( "78" + (char) 0x00B0 );

It is not works, but if i do in the following char tmp = 0x00B0; myTextView.setText(tmp); will be okay! – narancs Aug 10 '10 at 09:59

Simpler would be to use Java's Unicode notation: `"78\u00B0"`, or `char degree = '\u00B0';` – Christopher Orr Jan 04 '11 at 14:57
