It is partly missing documentation. In order to use UTF-8 encoded
stuff, you have to enable the propper font encodings. In the present
case this means that you have to load textcomp.sty, which then enables
TS1 encoding:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\begin{document}
To convert from °C to °F, the following formula can be used:
\end{document}
lmodern.sty is only used because it provides the best T1/TS1-encoded,
CM-like fonts.
This way has the advantage that the actual degree-sign from the font
is used instead of something like $^{\circ}$.
