You can put all the different alternatives together?  I do the following
for degrees Celsius:

#+macro: degc @@odt:°C@@@@latex:\(^{\circ}\)C@@

Looks ugly but I don't have to look at it often.  In text, I simply have
{{{degc}}}.

(minor aside: I wish macros had been defined to be used with [[[degc]]]
instead as much easier to type than {{{degc}}})
