Here is what I use in TeX:
\def\degree{\ifmmode^\circ\else$^\circ$\fi}
\catcode`\.=\active \gdef.{\relax\degree}
The first line just defines \degree. The second one allows you to use the
ASCII degree symbol in your input files (ASCII 248 = .). You can use
either the control sequence or the character itself.
