There are two simple way to get the ° symbol in macOS.
Method 1: Insert Degree Symbol from the Emoji & Symbols Menu
In the earlier versions of macOS, this menu was called the Special Characters menu.
Put your cursor where you want to insert the degree symbol. Go to Edit > Emoji & Symbols OR press Control+Command+Space shortcut combination. A new window will open. Type degree in the search box. The ° symbol will appear along with °C and °F. Double click on the symbol you want to insert.
Method 2: Type ° Symbol Using Keyboard in macOS
The method of using Emoji & Symbols menu is not very difficult. But there is an even easier way. You can use keyboard shortcuts to type the ° symbol in macOS.
Press Option+K keys to insert a small degree symbol (for example, 45˚) Press Shift+Option+8 keys to insert a slightly larger degree symbol (for example, 37°)
We guess that the larger version is the superscript 0 and the smaller version is the real degree symbol. If you are using a PC, we also have an article on how to type ° symbol on a PC. If you want to display this symbol on a web page, the HTML code for degree symbol is º (along with the semi-colon) We hope this tutorial was useful for you.
