If there are only two occurrences, I'd definitely use Jamie's technique. If there are many occurrences, such as in a math or chemistry textbook, I fix them to have the correct superscripts/subscripts.
There is a degree symbol, so you shouldn't use a superscript o or 0 for that. Nemeth (math) braille also has a degree symbol, but I don't know if the bookshare converter knows to make the correct substitution.

Ah, degrees symbols have to be converted to the words degrees.If you don't, the braille version of the book won't show it correctly.
