My suggestion is to just use \phys_units_text_* always, since the
decomposed, two characters is the preferred form for those two units.
“In normal use, it is better to represent degrees Celsius ‘°C’ with a
sequence of U+00B0 DEGREE SIGN + U+0043 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C, rather
than U+2103 DEGREE CELSIUS. For searching, treat these two sequences as
identical. Similarly, the sequence U+00B0 DEGREE SIGN + U+0046 LATIN
CAPITAL LETTER F is preferred over U+2109 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT, and those
two sequences should be treated as identical for searching.”

Searching should be ok due to the tonunicode that mentions the two
characters ... how about the visual aspect? Should we care about?
It's no problem to make an option to always use the split version.
