There is no pre-made short-cut symbol for that.  Whether such a symbol can
be generated at all depends on the terminal driver you're using.  
Enhanced-mode terminals (originally only PostScript; now others, too) and
TeX can do it by superposition of an 'o' above an 'A'.  TeX probably has
a special math-mode symbol for it as an alternative.

[That's setting aside the fact that Angstrom is an obsolote unit, and has
been for a couple of decades, so you probably shouldn't be using it any
more.]

That too depends on the terminal driver being used.  As of version 4.0,
most major drivers to support rotated text, and will thus output the
ylabel in vertical orientation.
