How it works

The angle symbol is ∠, Angle, U+2220. ∡ is the measured angle, with an arc across it, ∢ is the spherical angle, and ∟ is the right angle. The 75 rows add the degree, minute and second signs and ∠ABC ready to edit.

How an angle is written

∠A names an angle by its vertex. With three points the vertex goes in the middle, so ∠ABC is the angle at B. m∠A means its size, as in m∠A = 40°. The degree sign follows the number with no space, and minutes and seconds take primes, not quote marks: 30° 12′ 5″.

Tips
  • LaTeX's kernel builds \angle from a slash and a rule. Loading amssymb swaps in a real character, and adds \measuredangle and \sphericalangle.
  • A hat also marks an angle: \widehat{ABC} in LaTeX, or a letter plus the combining circumflex U+0302: the row A with a hat.
  • The raised g of 50ᵍ is the gradian, 1/100 of a right angle. Its standard symbol today is gon.

Questions and answers

Is there an Alt code for the angle symbol?

Not for ∠, and no Option key either. On a number pad the right angle ∟ is Alt+28 and the degree sign ° is Alt+248 or Alt+0176. On a Mac with the U.S. layout, ° is Option+Shift+8.

What is the HTML code for the angle symbol?

∠ or ∠ for ∠. The measured angle ∡ is ∡, the spherical angle ∢ is ∢, the right angle ∟ is ∟ and ° is °.

What is the symbol for a right angle?

∟, Right angle, U+221F. In a diagram a right angle is usually marked with a small square, which is ⦜. German-speaking countries and Poland use an arc with a dot, ⦝. ⟂ says two lines are perpendicular, and 90° or π/2 gives the size.

What is the difference between ∠, ∡ and ∢?

All three date from Unicode 1.1 (1993). ∠ is Angle, the plain sign of ∠ABC. ∡ is Measured angle, with an arc across it. ∢ is Spherical angle, which Unicode notes as angle arc. A size is written with the plain sign: m∠A.
