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
