I imagine someone has needed to add the ° symbol into a report before. How did you do it?  
The normal Alt+0176, etc. doesn't work and reports don't accept HTML entities.

Thanks!

`<Compose>`-`oo` works for me in Reporting, in Linux. Have you tried copying and pasting from the Windows Character Map tool? Or copying and pasting from some place that _does_ take the `<alt>` composition?

Yup, copying the ° symbol from Windows CharMap and pasting it into the report works.  
Thanks!
