In Python 3, you should be able to do:
print('°F/°C')
directly. If you can't, your configuration is broken.
If you are including this is a .py file, make sure your text editor is
set to use UTF-8 as the encoding.

You don't need to use escape codes for this, but if you do, try this:
print('\u00b0 F')

What is this? OS X (Macinintosh), Windows, Windows with cgwin, Linux,
some other Unix?
What does os.name return?

Until now, I would have said that error is literally impossible in
Python 3.5.
Unless you have made a copy-and-paste error, and aren't showing us the
correct output, I can't imagine how you are getting that error. This is
very weird.
Hmmm... thinking... what do these return?
sys.getdefaultencoding()
sys.stdout.encoding
