Unicode representation of symbol
Unicode provides the Fahrenheit symbol at code point U+2109 ℉DEGREE FAHRENHEIT. However, this is a compatibility character encoded for roundtrip compatibility with legacy encodings. The Unicode standard explicitly discourages the use of this character: "The sequence U+00B0 °DEGREE SIGN + U+0046 FLATIN CAPITAL LETTER F is preferred over U+2109 ℉DEGREE FAHRENHEIT, and those two sequences should be treated as identical for searching."
