I have stumbled across an issue using ruby, I want to put 105°C into a

anybody explain a way around this problem?

Get your encodings straight. Your browser is displaying UTF-8 code as if it is WindowsLatin or something.

The problem can come from a number of places, but the wrong database table encoding or the lack of the proper header directive in your HTML layout are the most likely culprits:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" />
