!6 = change to Complex Roman Font
!s = save current position
A = the character "A"
!r = restore saved position (in this case, back up one character)
!u = shift to upper subscript level, decrease size by 0.62
!9 = change to math and special character font
% = this gives the degree symbol I think (the little circle thing)
!6 = change back to complex roman
!n = change back to normal level and character size
