Anyone know how to display the degree symbol?

Anyone know how to display the degree symbol ° in a text object on a plot? I've tried both solutions: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/32376-degree-symbol but none of them works for me inside the text object: text(0.5,-0.11,sprintf('preferred orientation: %d^{\circ}, phase: %d^{\circ}',30,60),'Interpreter','tex') text(-0.11,0.5,sprintf('preferred orientation: %d%c, phase: %d%c',45,char(176),90,char(176)),'Interpreter','tex')

text(0.5,-0.11,sprintf('preferred orientation: %d%c, phase: %d%c',30,char(176),60,char(176)))
