You can see my output at @Swallowfield_Cl (that's a lowercase L at the end btw ;) )

“It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
"So it is."
"And freezing."
"Is it?"
"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately.”

What encoding are you using for your twitter.txt file? I just created an ANSI encoded twitter.txt file, put °C into it, and it works:
2014-03-17 17_02_10-SandayWeather (SandayWeather) on Twitter.png
The bottom one is the standard message, and the top one is the same but done with a twitter.txt file, as attached.

My file seems to be a differt type, not ansi.
I took yours, put in my text and it's fine now.
Thanks!
