Bug#486523: Uses unicode compatibility character

[Frank Kingswood]

According to the ever-trustworthy Wikipedia, Unicode provides a 
compatibility character for the degree Celsius at U+2103 (decimal 8451). 
Compatibility characters are discouraged and should only be used except 
when needed for round-trip convertibility to other standards.

Clearly someone saw the degree Celcius/Fahrenheit characters and thought 
that using them "must be better". Unfortunately, most fonts do not have it.

As a quick hack, you can modify the 
/usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/libgweather.mo file using
    sed -e s/\\xe2\\x84\\x83/\\xc2\\xb0C/g -e 
s/\\xe2\\x84\\x89/\\xc2\\xb0F/g
