Degree Symbol Issue

[ms310]

Hello

Please see the attached image. I took the code that displays the degree symbol from the large text and copy/pasted it into the code for the small text. As you can see it prints out a funny A and the degree symbol. Strange.

I am using Sublime Text which is usually well behaved. I tried several fonts and even made the small text the same font as the big text, same result.

Any hints here? Why would one work and not the other? I feel like I am always chasing this issue and somehow eventually it resolves itself without me understanding what happened.

Thanks for the help!

Try this: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30807&p=162121&hilit=degree#p162121
Accordingly you should have to modify the Text option this way: Text=%1 [\x00B0]#UnitTemp#. The [\x00B0] string will be replaced with a degree symbol.

Additional tip: don't include none of the options into quotation marks. That's why I didn't wrote the above option as Text="%1 [\x00B0]#UnitTemp#". Those quotation marks are simply not needed: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=26350&p=137628&hilit=quote+enclose+option#p137628

also, you can save the file with encoding -> UTF-16 LE in Sublime text editor to fix any further issue with the charactears:



or in the way balala used searching for the character code you want using UTF-8 (hex) or UTF-16 (hex) encoding method and using it in a Rainmeter .ini file in this form: [\x UTF code].

Sorry - I updated the image but perhaps you have a cached copy. The new image in the post has the correct symbol.

Thanks for your help.
