As a hotfix untill we find out if it's a problem with your fonts (or probably just UTF-8), add
InLineSettings= Face | Arial
InLinePattern=°
to the meter (or MeterStyle) that use that symbol

open the code and save it with encoding as follows:

UTF-16 LE (Windows Notepad.exe)
UCS-2 LE BOM (Notepad++)
UTF-16 LE (Sublime Text)

Yes, skin .ini files should always be encoded as Unicode UTF-16 Little Endian.

However, another approach is to use Character Variables in place of the literal Unicode characters. This can be useful for characters can can be displayed by the font your skin is using, but maybe not by the font your text editor is using.

Code: Select all

[MeterTemperature]
Meter=String
FontSize=15
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
Text=32[\x00B0] F

[MeterTemperature]
Meter=String
FontSize=15
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
Text=32[\x00B0] F [\x2744]
