Assuming it's a PC running Windows: Hold the ALT key pressed, enter 0128 on the numeric pad, then release ALT. That should work on any full-size keyboard with a numeric pad. Don't forget to set 'Num Lock' on so you get numbers rather than duplicate cursor keys... There are many ALT+number combinations, see the link below.

Hi there.
Special character like that degrees symbol can be generated using ASCII codes (or extended ASCII codes).
For the degrees symbol, the ASCII code is 0176.
Hold Alt key on your keyboard (for PC) then press the numbers 0176. This would come up something like this --> °
There are several more symbols that you could use using ASCII.
like the centavo sign ¢ (alt+155) and the copyright sign © (alt+0169). you can find a good list of ASCII characters and their corresponding symbols here:

use the Character Map
go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Character Map
on your Character Map, choose the degrees sign (example: Arial Font, column 11, row 6 is the degree sign), now click Select, then click Copy. Then paste it in your document.
45°C

Hold Alt and type 167 in your number pad. You will get the degree symbol. Like this 45ºC or 90ºC.

in MS WORD Its simle write the number i.e. '90' then press "ctrl+shift+'+ sign'" . ur cursor will go at the top or exponential position now type"o" and the again press the same key to return ur cursor to normal.
in excel type the number ie. '90' and with it 'o' now select this(o) and and write click it to open properties, select "format cell" and the in the "effect" category select superscript. this will take the 'o' to exponential position.

What I do is: copy all the symbols which I don't find in the keyboard and paste it all word or in notepad

º is what you are looking for.
If you click on your start menu, across to programs, across to accessories and across to system tools, you will see something called character map - you will find how to get the degree's symbol in that program.
