Angstrom-Zeichen Å

The angstrom unit is traditionally denoted by the capital letter „A“ with a small circle above. It's called „Angstrom Sign Å“. There are two symbols with similar writing in Unicode: the one you see on this page Å , and the Latin capital letter A with a circle Å from the Lateinisch-1, Ergänzung  0080–00FF block.

Angstrom is a unit of length that is used worldwide. However, it doesn't form a part of the International System of Units (SI). One angstrom is equal to 1 µm (one millionth of a meter). This is approximately the diameter of an electron's orbit, the distance between bonds in a crystalline lattice. As for the SI system, the nearest unit to the angstrom is the nanometer ㎚ .

Das Symbol „Angstrom-Zeichen“ ist im „Buchstabenartige Symbole“ Subblock des „Buchstabenähnliche Symbole“ blocks enthalten und wurde als Teil der Unicode-Version 1.1 im Jahr 1993 genehmigt.
