Tom,
It shows up in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.  All I changed was the "encoding 
= utf8" for the NOAA reports (cheetagenerator in skin.conf) as was 
discussed in this thread.
I don't have any special characters in use but now see the degree symbol 
along with the other odd addition   (°F) .
Thanks.
BG
see* http://grattans.org/wx* under month of Feb.  It's not showing in Jan 
as that report was created before my change to utf8.
