The IBM Extended Character Set has the degree symbol at #248.
UTF-7 only uses 7 bits. You certainly won't get there that way.
UTF-8 should do it for you.
Five bits would put us straight back into the era of the telex machine. Then there is the 1-bit morse code, from the time of the singing wires :-)

OK. Thanks! I must have jumbled my Agent settings because it was working just fine until yesterday :-(

UTF-8 is a multi-byte encoding that can encode 31 bit characters, more than are needed/used for Unicode. IIRC, UTF-7 can also encode the full 20+bit Unicode set, though it isn't as nice or widely used.
More likely its because you've been dealing with a bunch of 2-bit characters in this newsgroup.

I understand Usenet still technically uses the original 7-bit ASCII standard and that some servers might strip off the high bit, so not everyone will be able to see that degree symbol.
Perhaps if you included the degree symbol in a file posted as a binary attachment. (j/k)

Now look at my header file:-)
Lets see .. A 64 bit extension to a 32 bit graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
