You are right, U+00B0 is the right one. I think, I couldn't find a
"superscript o" easily then decided to use superscript zero from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_superscripts
However, there is a slight difference in their appearance when I compare
them side by side.
For simplicity, I just use subscript and superscript unicode symbols to
construct simple units.

Could you test my outputs if they look fine on your side?
