CategoryLetterlike Symbols
DescriptionThe Unicode character Å, or U+212B, is known as the "Angstrom Sign". It is part of the "Letterlike Symbols" block and is categorized under the "Letter, Uppercase" category in the Unicode standard. The angstrom is a unit of length used primarily in the sciences to denote extremely small distances such as those between atoms in a molecule. It is named after the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström. One angstrom is equivalent to 1 x 10^-10 meters or 0.1 nanometers. It is worth noting that despite its usage, the International System of Units does not officially recognize the angstrom as a standard unit of measure. Instead, measurements at the atomic scale are typically given in nanometers or picometers.
