How can I give degree symbol in XTicklabel in a bar graph?

I used the following code in Matlab 2013b to give degree symbol in X-axis tick label.

set(gca,'XTicklabel',{'Neat PP';'0^{\circ}';'30^{\circ}';'45^{\circ}';'60^{\circ}';'90^{\circ}'})

It did not help me (please see attached figure). Can anyone please give me solution? Thank you.

set(gca,'XTicklabel',{'Neat PP'; [sprintf('0%c', char(176))];[sprintf('30%c', char(176))];[sprintf('45%c', char(176))];[sprintf('60%c', char(176))];[sprintf('90%c', char(176))]})

Make sure that the axes' TickLabelInterpreter property is set to either tex or latex:

The documentation includes a list of the TEX symbols and commands that can be used in MATLAB: click on the arrow in the subheading to show the full list.

The TickLabelInterpreter property was introduced as part of the new graphics system in release R2014b. It is not available in release R2013b.
