“In normal use, it is better to represent degrees Celsius ‘°C’ with a
sequence of U+00B0 DEGREE SIGN + U+0043 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C, rather
than U+2103 DEGREE CELSIUS. For searching, treat these two sequences as
identical. Similarly, the sequence U+00B0 DEGREE SIGN + U+0046 LATIN
CAPITAL LETTER F is preferred over U+2109 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT, and those
two sequences should be treated as identical for searching.”
