//when "degree" displayed on screen,messy code.

what kind of encoding should i use ? It seems that NSASCIIStringEncoding doesn't work.

or any other methods can helps to solove it?

Answer 1

Why go to all of this trouble? Just type in the degree symbol directly into your code?

NSString *temp = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d °C", someVal]; // Char U+00B0

Even better would be Unicode U+2103 (℃) or U+2109 (℉).
