Kelvin and degrees Celsius are friends, though.

I think one is supposed to be radians, not sure why they both have the ° though, cause radians aren’t a degree. Should be just R the way Kelvin is just K.

It is clearly the Rankine scale, which is an absolute temperature scale just like Kelvin. Which means that 0 K and 0 °R is exactly the same.
