Thank you! That was it!
Exporting thusly made it behave:
$ export PYTHONIOENCODING="UTF-8"
$ python3
Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 23 2017, 16:37:01)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print('\u00b0'+ "F")
°F
>>>
I've come across this env variable even before, but overlooked it this
time again. Much appreciated!

In Python 3, you should be able to do:
print('°F/°C')
directly. If you can't, your configuration is broken.
If you are including this is a .py file, make sure your text editor is
set to use UTF-8 as the encoding.

You don't need to use escape codes for this, but if you do, try this:
print('\u00b0 F')

What is this? OS X (Macinintosh), Windows, Windows with cgwin, Linux,
some other Unix?
What does os.name return?

Until now, I would have said that error is literally impossible in
Python 3.5.
Unless you have made a copy-and-paste error, and aren't showing us the
correct output, I can't imagine how you are getting that error. This is
very weird.
Hmmm... thinking... what do these return?
sys.getdefaultencoding()
sys.stdout.encoding

To some degree it depends on what you are printing on,
it needs to support unicode. Not all terminals do.
Secondly it needs to be set to unicode for its character
encoding and it appears from the error condition that
yours is set to ascii...
You could try setting
PYTHONIOENCODING="UTF-8"
in your OS shell and see if that helps, but I suspect
there's a better way to deal with it...
PS. You can check the current setting with:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.encoding
If it says ascii (or anything other than a Unicode setting)
then that's almost certainly your problem.

[Tutor] python3 - °F/°C printing those degree signs
Greetings! How to print °F/°C etc in python3?
(This works on a WSL):
~$ python3
Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 17 2016, 17:05:23)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.release()
'4.4.0-17134-Microsoft'
>>> print('\u00b0'+ " F")
° F
Elsewhere, it no longer seem to work:
$ python3
Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 23 2017, 16:37:01)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.release()
'4.4.0-21-generic'
>>> print('\u00b0'+ " F")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xb0' in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
How can we print °F / °C etc. - that should work everywhere on python3
so I can use the same code?
Thanks in advance!
