<![CDATA[Degrees C Symbol]]>Hi all,

I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere. I'm using the Arduino API and trying to display the degrees C symbol eg 5.2ºC in M5.Lcd.printf("%0.1f%cC", temp, (char)000) but can't for the life of me find what number I need for (char)000

Can anyone help?

I noticed that uiFlow now supports Unicode characters. I'm not sure in which release it was introduced, but I'm now able to add the degree symbol to a label using characters from this site.

Two drawbacks...

  • Size is fixed at unicode 24 (similar in size to DejaVu 24).
  • Unicode 24 is missing from the label set font block

String strTemp;
strTemp = String(temp1 + strtof(&adj1[0], NULL));
strTemp += " C";

M5.Lcd.drawCentreString(strTemp,320/2,50,1);
//M5.Lcd.print(String(temp1 + strtof(&adj1[0], NULL))+"℃"); //broken --;

int nTempLen=strTemp.length();
M5.Lcd.setTextSize(1);
M5.Lcd.setCursor(2, 50);
M5.Lcd.print("Sensor");
M5.Lcd.print(" 1");
if(nTempLen==6)
{
M5.Lcd.setCursor(195, 45);
}
else if(nTempLen==7)
{
 M5.Lcd.setCursor(205, 45);
}
else if(nTempLen==8)
{
 M5.Lcd.setCursor(216, 45);
}
else
{
 M5.Lcd.setCursor(200, 45);
}

M5.Lcd.setTextSize(2);
M5.Lcd.print("o"); //lowcase o

But it takes some trial and error depending on your text size.

Please pay attention to the content of the notes when using.

I don't suppose you can suggest any other way of displaying it? Would have thought it was a common thing to do given temperature applications are a popular thing for this kind of hardware.

Is there any documentation on what characters are available? Or is it just the standard ASCII set but not the extended set?

So it cannot be displayed, maybe you can try to use " 'C " symbol instead, it will look more same
