Mojibake. A degree sign is U+B0. In UTF-8, it is encoded as 0xC2 0xB0, where the top three bits of C2 mean it's the start of a two-byte sequence, the bottom two bits of C2 are the top two bits of B0, and the top two bits of B0 mean that it's a continuation byte. U+C2 is Â, and U+B0 happens to match the ° sign from before encoding. Examining the page with a hex editor, I see that the apostrophe in "Kola’s", which is a right single quotation mark, is encoded as E2 80 99, but the degree sign is encoded as C3 82 C2 B0. This had to have been copied from a source where the temperature was displayed as "190°C" because of a wrong encoding, and pasted into the page.
