I write a dissector for a protocol that transport measurement values for

Is there a way display this character set specific characters in Wireshark? How should I encode
these characters that the GTK UI displays the nice "°C" so that I can avoid "degrees
centigrade"?
Try encoding them in UTF-8 (*NOT* UTF-16/UCS-2!); that might work.
Yes it might, but this depends on the current editor I use on different
workstations. And the fiddling with the editor settings is cumbersome.
Of course, getting the Windows C compiler to like it is another matter.

I would prefer the escape string "\xC2\xB0" anyway, since it's not only
a question of the compiler as the version control system incl. diff
viewer is also part of the tool chain.
Thanks for this help.
