gen­symb – Generic sym­bols for both text and math mode

Pro­vides generic com­mands \de­gree, \cel­sius, \pert­hou­sand, \mi­cro and \ohm which work both in text and maths mode. Var­i­ous means are pro­vided to fake the sym­bols or take them from par­tic­u­lar sym­bol fonts, if they are not avail­able in the de­fault fonts used in the doc­u­ment. This should be per­fectly trans­par­ent at user level, so that one can ap­ply the same no­ta­tion for units of mea­sure­ment in text and math mode and with ar­bi­trary type­faces. Note that the pack­age has been de­signed to work in con­junc­tion with units.sty.
This pack­age is part of the was bun­dle.
