Ah, yes, my mistake. Please download 2.16.x beta release from here:

https://github.com/olikraus/U8g2_Arduino/archive/master.zip

Install the zip file via Arduino IDE Library Manager ("add zip file" menu entry)

Using a hex value of 0x0090 worked until about a week ago.... I think the character table must have been updated. I am unable to get a degree sign to work using ANY of the published values!
