nanogui: Thread: displaying degree symbol

Hi All,
I've got a problem with displaying the degree symbol 0xB0 when part of a text. In this case it's at the end of the text.
If I have a string 0x34 0x31 0xB0, which is 34 degrees, the string will not be displayed. If I take out the 0xBo from the string, the others will be displayed.
I'm using:
GrText(my_gc, font_gc,x,y,string, 3,GR_TFUTF8|GR_TFBOTTOM);

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
--Jr.

I figured out I need to use ASCII encording for this, sorry.
But is there a way to use Unicode for it?

thanks,
--Jr.

Sure - specify GR_UC16, use a unicode font, and specify
that character's unicode value in 16 bits.
