ok, what you see happen in 'non xetex context' is ok,
\catcode`ð=\active \defð{^^F0}
will fail because pdftex is *not* utf and only sees 8 bit characters, so
you can only set the catcodes 0-255
\catcode `<number>=<number>
and in your case `Ã will become a number ° but ° not
\bgroup
\let\unicodechar\unicodenumber
\catcodeð=\active \defð{^^F0}
\egroup
could work (watch out: no `) but again, \catcode<16 bit number> is not
accepted by regular 8 bit tex
so, a the moment, what you observe is ok; at the end of this year, in a
32 bit pdftex, things may work different
