MATLAB: How to give degree symbol in XTicklabel in a bar graph

Question

I used the following code in Matlab 2013b to give degree symbol in X-axis tick label.

set(gca,'XTicklabel',{'Neat PP';'0^{\circ}';'30^{\circ}';'45^{\circ}';'60^{\circ}';'90^{\circ}'})

It did not help me (please see attached figure). Can anyone please give me solution? Thank you.
