Only in the sense that a superscript "o" is the symbol for degrees.

Semantically, both degree-sign and radian-sign are different "things" 
than merely an o or c in superscript.

Nevertheless, in mathematics at least, it is normal to leave out the 
radian sign when talking about angles. By default, "1.2" means "1.2 
radians", not "1.2 degrees".
