Option-zero is typographically incorrect as the degree sign. The degree symbol (Shift+Option+8) is a perfect small circle that is baseline shifted and weight balanced. The difference is obvious if you greatly enlarge the two symbols or choose a different font such as Cambria. You are right. Option-zero is typographically incorrect as the degree sign.

It is the masculine ordinal sign for Portuguese and Spanish; a superscript letter O. In some fonts the O is underlined. The degree sign is Shift+Option+8. I found this out the hard way.
