Hi, Mike, when I was reading math books or cookbooks, the degree symbol
would be written like this: dg350F. or 300DgF. I hope this helps. I
don't know what the current symbol for degrees is in Braille. Regards,
Kim Friedman.

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.
