how do you type a degree symbol on a macbook

Question

writing up weather notes and need the little degree sign. no key for it obviously. is there a shortcut or do i have to copy it from somewhere every time?

Option + Shift + 8 gives you ° Option + K gives a similar looking ring but it's a different character and sits a bit higher, so use the first one for temperatures.

If you type it a lot, add a text replacement: System Settings > Keyboard > Text Replacements, + , replace "deg" with °. Works in most apps after that.
