Since the unicode for the ° seems to be b0 (hex) and since the op seems to use Ubuntu, I think the easiest thing to do is either to do the Ctrl+Shift+u b0 Enter thing, or the Compose key o o thing. The Ctrl+Shift+u thing works out of the box, while the Compose key thing perhaps needs you to do some easy settings, like deciding which key is the compose key. I use Caps Lock for it, since it's a totally useless key anyway. So in my case I press Caps Lock, release it, then press o twice. Then the ° appears. Caps Lock o c gives a ©, Caps Lock % o gives a ‰ and so on. To set which key is the compose key, click [System → Preferences → Keyboard → Layouts → Layout options… → Position for the Compose key] (or something like that – I have the Swedish version of Ubuntu so I just translated from Swedish).
