Bug Description

Hi,
I am constantly missing degree (°) character on my Ubuntu Phone which means that I am unable to write stuff like "It seems it will be almost freezing at night, Google says it should only be 4°C early in the morning".
From time to time I have the urge to complain about the weather and then I would like to send stuff like this via Telegram to some people just as I did when I was still using Android. So could this bee please added to the Ubuntu keyboard?

Thank you very much

What keyboard layout are you using? In the Italian layout, I can write it by long-pressing on the "o" letter. It's indeed missing from the English one.

I am using English and Czech layouts, both are missing this degree ° key.
Also, Stuart Langridge suggested introducing a compose key to the ubuntu keyboard and one other person I talked to liked the idea as well. So maybe this would be a good way to make the keyboard more feature-rich.
