The single quotes are 'absolute' whereas double quotes allow
interpolation of special characters like $ and backquote sequences, so
\deg is seen as [\d e g] which is [d e g] because \d is not one of the
anointed escapes.
So, you could use double quotes but you'd have to write it as "\\deg":
the backslash escapes the second backslash so the backend receives the
four-character string \deg.
