Just hold down the Alt key and type in the number 0176. Let up on the Alt key and you will have the ° sign. If this does not work then you will need to load the character map to your computer. I have no idea how to do this with Macs but this should work with any Windows OS. Other symbols are available with this same method. Diameter or diametrical Ø is Alt 0216, plus or minus ± is Alt 0177 and so on. These do sometimes change with a different font but are for the most part consistent. Check out the character map for all kinds of signs and symbols to have fun with. Squared² Alt 0178, cubed³ Alt 0179, copyright© Alt 0169. There are lots more.
You have to use the key board to the right.
