Thank you for the info; the encoding is iso-8859-1.'\xb0' is degree sign in many 8bit encodings, such as iso-8859-1, iso-8859-15, and cp1252. You could specify any of those.
It would be better, though, to encode the file as UTF-8 so that it matches your default locale and you do not need to declare it.
How did you obtain the file? Just pasting from the blog post gives UTF-8 for me. I assume running locale will confirm that your system is set up for UTF-8?
I also copied and pasted from the site.
PS: I ran locale and got:
