Is there any SAS output format for Celcius Temperature?

[NewbieToSAS]

Hello everyone!

I was working on a school project of mine, where I have a variable recording the temperature, in Celcius. I was looking for an output format where I can add the " ℃ " symbol in front of every temperature value, just like we can do with the dollar sign.

I couldnt find anything on the Internet, either because I was using the wrong comnination of keywords, or it wasn't there.

Here is a picture of my data. Ignore the title, I now it says "Fahrenheit" there, but I was going to fix that later after getting the bulkwark of my project done

Any advice on how to add the ℃ symbol would be greatly appreciated, thanks fr your time !!

You can try a PICTURE format with or without a custom function.

This describes how to get the special symbols:
