Hi Martin,
Character 176 (decimal) or 00B0 (hex) gives the symbol "°". How you get
this symbol onto your computer depends on your application.
The correct symbol (not abbreviation) for degrees Celsius is "°C", preceded
by a space - thus "40 °C". The standard is silent about the use of narrow
spaces in this context. (See
http://www.bipm.org/en/publications/si-brochure/section5-3.html).

I'm sure that this has been addressed before, but I can find no specific
answer in my library of standards documents. When using the limited ASCII
character set, how do you write the symbol for the degree Celsius? Is it
40 oC, using the rule that there is to be a space between the numeral and
the symbol. Or is it 40oC, as one commonly sees it in print?
