[Tex/LaTex] enumerate with non-standard numbering (1°, 2°, …)

Question

How can I get a list environment with numbers 1°, 2°, …? LaTeX does not accept the symbol °.

Answer 1

Try a customization by the enumitem package and the textcomp package.

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{textcomp}

\begin{document}
  \begin{enumerate}[label={\arabic*\textdegree}]
    \item First
    \item Second
  \end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Addendum: With the right input encoding you can also insert ° directly.

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{textcomp}

\begin{document}
  \begin{enumerate}[label={\arabic*°}]
    \item First
    \item Second
  \end{enumerate}
\end{document}
