Why no degree symbol on keyboards?

I just use windows character map. Just type that in the search bar and it will bring it up. Has all kinds of symbols. ®©°¿±µ¶¶
 
How are you doing it ? Just to be clear, you hold down the OPTION key and press "0" while holding it down. It's not (3) key presses, one after the other.

Yep, typed the post last night from Monteray, although I'm now in Mojave on my office Mini.

Also, to be clear, it's the number zero. The letter O gets you ø .

Option+any other letter or number on the keyboard will get you a lot of symbols. Some are intuitive, some are not-i.e. opt+4 gives you ¢(the $ Opt+shift also opens up more, although not as many.

Since I do a lot of scientific writing(it's part of my job) I have it set such that I can toggle my keyboard to Greek from the menu bar. Not all the symbols I often need are available by option key.
