[Tex/LaTex] Macro for degree symbol

symbols

I wanted to find a simple way to made degree symbol ° and have tried textcomp and gensymb, but none of them works. I wanted to avoid using ^{\circ}, which isn't nice when you have a long document. I thought may be something easy can be achievable, e.g. \degree?

Anything wrong with textcomp's \textdegree?

Have a look at “How to look up a math symbol?” for ideas how you can easily find a particular symbol.

there's a "canned" routine called testfont. use it with plain tex:

tex testfont

it will walk you through what it wants to test. the first question is what font you want. the comprehensive symbols list should show you what fonts the asterisk is in (i'm pretty sure there's one in cmsy10). then you tell it what to do. the usual directive is

\table\bye

if you want to test another font, then respond \table\vfill\eject\init and the "what font" question will come up again. you can preview the result, or print it out for reference. the indices on the top/bottom/sides of the table will identify the addresses of the cells, which is what the last argument of \DeclareMathSymbol wants.
