This symbol is used to represent degrees in many different fields, such as angle or temperatures. It is obtained by drawing a small circle as a superscript. The Unicode of the icon is U + 00B0.

on Mac: 

Using keyboard shortcuts : OPTION + SHIFT + 8

on PC:

Press and hold the ALT key and type 0 1 7 6 on the numeric keypad of your keyboard. Make sure the NumLock is on and type 0176 with the leading zero. If there is no numeric keypad, press and hold the Fn before typing the 0176 numbers of degree symbol.

on iPhone & iPad:

Step 1: Click the 123 button on the screen keyboard to open the number keyboard.

Step 2: Hold down zero (i.e. 0), and move your finger to choose the degree symbol (i.e. °).
