Degree symbol command for mathjax in Canvas quizzes

I know that Canvas/Instructure recently began mathjax support (thank you thank you thank you sooooo much). I also know that the \degree is fairly new to mathjax. I noticed that canvas does not support the \degree command and instead we have to exponentiate a circle like so: \ (30^{\circ}\ )

Is there any plans to impliment the \degree command or any better ways to do this. I also come from a time before graphical editors and I really find it easier to just type out the command. Clicking on stuff to bring up a degree symbol really breaks my flow and slows me down.
