Does anyone know how to confirm whether a temperature gauge is faulty?

My temp gauge has been showing that it's extremely hot and does not drop down when the engine is turned off like the voltage and oil pressure gauges. I'm not sure whether it's the temp sending unit or the gauge itself. Thanks in advance for any replies.

BTW, already changed thermostat, coolant (and flush), checked fan, clutch and water pump. All are OK.
 






hook up a scanner and check
