Howdy,

It doesn't exist in all fonts. Try using
\newcommand{\degC}{\mbox{${}^\circ$C}}. Actually, I made a macro \ang{} and
then everything else followed:
% \ang{30} gives 30° (math or text)
\newcommand{\ang}[1]{\ensuremath{{#1}^{\circ}}}
\newcommand{\degree}{\mbox{\ang{}}}  % general text degree
\newcommand{\degC}{\mbox{\degree C}} % Celsius
\newcommand{\degF}{\mbox{\degree F}} % Farenheit
\newcommand{\degK}{\mbox{\degree K}} % Kelvin
\newcommand{\degR}{\mbox{\degree R}} % Rankin

Good Luck,
