"Do you write '℃' in English? If so, how do you type it?"

In the sentences above, does "Do you write" mean "Can you Write"?

No we don't write '℃'. What does it mean?
No, "Do you write" doesn't mean "Can you write".

Yes, we do. It is written to mean 'degrees Celsius', when stating temperature.

Yes, we do, sorry. :oops:
I was thinking about situations in which the degree symbol comes without a space after the number, followed by a space - eg. 45° angle. But it's true that with computer typing, '℃' is used.

We may as well discuss it fully.
Yes, there are unicode symbols for
℃ and '°'.
Is a correct temperature written as 27 °C, 27° C, or 27°C?

I always write it as 27[SUP]o[/SUP]C except I use Fahrenheit instead.
