You can do this:
plot(1:10);
str = sprintf('30 %cC', 176); % ASCII 176 looks like the degree symbol.
text(2,2,str);

Yes, but I don't know LaTex. I don't need to since modern work processors have all the formatting I need and I'm not required to know LaTex, though I know there are still some people who still use it.

LOL! I still do, though I don't recommend it. But I prefer it to Microsoft Word when it comes to write hundreds of pages, and I'm gonna stick to it, unless you kindly suggest me a better one.
Tnx

It’s very well hidden in the documentation. In the online documentation it’s under String. That reveals:
\circ º
The rest of the special TeX characters are there as well.

As I remember MATLAB understand a little bit of Latex! lol
If you've ever worked with Latex which is just like writing in a linear form try this
legend('C^{Celcious}') or title or xlable or ...
or
title('C^o')
if you want to have Celsius sign
Let me know about the results plz.
Good Luck!

You can apply the same format to text, legend, disp, display, labelx labely title and similar functions that accept strings generally

If you have a variable then you can concatenate the string simply
x=30;
title([num2str(x),'^c']) or legend or text or xlable or ...
Be lazy and go with the easy one! lol
Good Luck!

I don't know what version of MATLAB you are using! But the following code resulted as such on my PC with 2012a and it's really easy to use this notation! You can see the image as well!
figure
text(0.1,0.1,'Hello^{World}')
text(.3,.3,'trying_{subscript}')
text(.6,.6,'trying_{subscript}^{power}')

You CAN click on the image to bring it up full size. At least using Firefox you can.

Another instance when you have numbers to deal with!
>> x=30
x =
30
>> figure
>> text(.1,.1,[num2str(x),'^c'])
>>
