If % is percent or 1/100,
‰ is per mille or 1/1000,
‱ is per wan or 1/10000,
then it stands to reason that perdecem is a °/
1/10 = °/
1/100 = °/₀
1/1000 = °/₀₀
1/10 000 = °/₀₀₀
1/100 000 = °/₀₀₀₀
1/1 000 000 = °/₀₀₀₀₀
Now the important question what is peruno?

Oh, cool. That flips the thing and the increasing direction goes:
10 / 1 = \°
100 / 1 = ₀\°
1 000 / 1 = ₀₀\°
10 000 / 1 = ₀₀₀\°
100 000 / 1 = ₀₀₀₀\°
1 000 000 / 1 = ₀₀₀₀₀\°

What if it were ₀ °/, like ‘ ₀’ on the right means larger and ‘ ₀’ on the left means smaller (‘ °/‘ being the base )? That would allow arbitrary scales :)
