Above answers assume that UTF8 encoding can safely be used - this one is specifically targetted for Windows   The Windows console normaly uses CP850 encoding and not utf-8  so if you try to use a source file utf8-encoded  you get those 2  incorrect  characters -   instead of a degree      Demonstration  using python 2 7 in a windows console    deg   u  xb0     utf code for degree print deg encode  utf8     effectively outputs -     Fix  just force the correct encoding  or better use unicode    local encoding    cp850       adapt for other encodings deg   u  xb0  encode local encoding  print deg   or if you use a source file that explicitely defines an encoding     - - coding  utf-8 - - local encoding    cp850     adapt for other encodings print   The current temperature in the country city you ve entered is     temp in county or city      C   decode  utf8   encode local encoding

Put this line at the top of your source    - - coding  utf-8 - -   If your editor uses a different encoding  substitute for utf-8    Then you can include utf-8 characters directly in the source

This is the most coder-friendly version of specifying a unicode character   degree sign  u  N DEGREE SIGN     Note  must be a capital N in the  N construct to avoid confusion with the   n  newline character  The character name inside the curly braces can be any case   It s easier to remember the name of a character than its unicode index  It s also more readable  ergo debugging-friendly  The character substitution happens at compile time  the  py co  file will contain a constant for u        gt  gt  gt  import dis  gt  gt  gt  c  compile  u  N DEGREE SIGN          eval    gt  gt  gt  dis dis c    1           0 LOAD CONST               0  u  xb0                 3 RETURN VALUE  gt  gt  gt  c co consts  u  xb0     gt  gt  gt  c  compile  u  N DEGREE SIGN - N EMPTY SET          eval    gt  gt  gt  c co consts  u  xb0- u2205     gt  gt  gt  print c co consts 0    -
