How to print degree Celsius sign? The simplest way

[xsd]

Does anyone know how to print degree of Celsius quickly?
Thanx

[elgerg]

lv_label_set_text_fmt(lblInside, "Inside: #%s %s°c#", strColour, json_object_get_string(btemp));

Quick enough?

[xsd]

Which version? It does not produce ° sign on 7.11.

[elgerg]

7.5 and 8.1

Gabor was kind enough to include the degree symbol for me in the fonts:

Include degree symbol in standard fonts

The other reason would be that when i tried using the python scrip to create the font it doesnt seem to allow additional symbols: C:\Users\username\Documents\Arduino\libraries\LittlevGL\src\scripts\built_in_font>python built_in_font_gen.py --size 16 -o lv_font_roboto_16.c --bpp 4 -r 0x20-0x7F Forced faster kerning format (via classes). Size increase is 388 bytes. C:\Users\username\Documents\Arduino\libraries\LittlevGL\src\scripts\built_in_font>python built_in_font_gen.py --size 16 -o lv_font_…

Try copying the symbol directly from the font file in case HTML is messing the encoding up:
EG

not all degree symbols are the same, IIRC there are 3 of them…

another copy of this:

UTF-8 format for display º and %

And how can I make sure of that? Thanks!

[xsd]

It does not work for me either way:

lv_label_set_text_fmt(lbl_temp_mv_canvas, "%s %c C", pBoilerTemp->s, 0xB0); lv_label_set_text_fmt(lbl_temp_return_canvas, "%s °C", pReturnTemp->s); /* from line 1596 monts_26 */

Do not know why, I can see it in the font I use.
Thanks.

sorry, I did mean copy the degree symbol itself not the code:

If that doesnt work maybe @kisvegabor might be able to help?

[xsd]

Tried both. No go.

Maybe your source code isn’t encoded as UTF-8.
I don’t know what editor (IDE) you use.
But if you take notepad++ and open the source file, you can see the actual coding of your source file.
If it is ANSI the ° will not be seen on your display.
With notepad++ you can also easily convert the encoding from ANSI to UTF-8

Also you need to enable unicode-support.

I type on the keyboard ALT 0176
This meens, hold the ALT key down and type 0176 on the num keyboard

[xsd]

Strangely, it works in MCU, so the issue has been resolved.

encoding from ANSI to UTF-8

• Don’t use With notepad++, How to use c code to convert the encoding from ANSI to UTF-8,thanks

I’m using VSCode as my editor and a Mac as my host. For me, I was able to insert a degree symbol into a string simply by using Option-Shift-8.
