Just out of curiosity, I looked at the list of ASCII printable
characters
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters) and
didn't find the degree sign. However, I found it in the so-called "8
bits extensions", which I believe is just the same as the Unicode U+00B0
character.

best,
