There are several ways to make the degree symbol, some programs have them in their alternate symbols like word.

However where the symbols actually come from are the ascii symbols which you can do on your keyboard with your alt key and your numeric keyboard on the right of your computer.

The programs that have them are only using the ascii codes which are part of DOS which is the language windows uses in the background.

I have put a link below with some of the ascii symbols you can use. There are many more but I put the one that has what your asking for.

erm youve just done it!! take a look at ur question again!
