Hi @AnakinO7 welcome to the forums.

In core Node-RED, there is a "template" node (the orange one, not `ui-template`). It allows you to combine incoming messages and message properties, with text, for example you could write:

```auto
{{ msg.payload }}°C

```

You could then wire this template to the `ui-text` node. When passed to the text node, it will render with the `°C` units.
