I would say that the 180° freezing-boiling point spread
definition is more than mere coincidence: They are opposite
extremes—180° apart.

Brix (where 1° Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of
solution)—like Celsius—is actually centesimal degrees, or
gradians, while Baumé is...well...too vague to relate.

Iʼve joined the Linux Revolution!: Mint 17.3; Mate 1.12.0
“°” = “degree” sign (Unicode-00B0/176);
“º” = “masculine ordinal indicator” (Unicode-00BA/186);
(on Linux, it shows as a larger “°”, underlined)
“ᵍ” = “modifier letter small g” (Unicode-1D4D/7501);
On Linux, you type “ShiftControl+u” (which will show an
underlined ‘u’) “+#_hex”: E.g., “ᵍ” = ShiftControl+u+1D4D.
