[OS X TeX] Celsius

[Alain Schremmer]

Such was my goal and
$10^\circ\mathrm{C}$
worked fine.
And, since mine is not a book in Thermodynamics, this will be the one 
and only one use I shall probably ever make of it.
But why didn't I think of ^\circ? Because it never dawned onto me that 
there wouldn't be a dedicated command for something you can get by 
option 0 on at least any Mac?

Thanks to everybody,
Regards
