Probably, but I am not sure if I may use that elsewhere.

Yes, because of this entry in lib/symbols:

textdegree         lyxsymbol             176 0 mathord  x

I am sure that a textdgree sign is available in one of the other fonts, but
I don't know how to declare it in lib/symbol so that it works in all
encodings.
