You need to learn something about GSM alphabets. The default GSM 7-bit alphabet doesn't include the degree symbol.

Transmitting SMS with a different alphabet is a bit tricky. You must select a different character set (e.g. UCS2) in the GSM header and also switch the modem interface to a different alphabet. To avoid conflicts with limited charset support of a modem, most programmers avoid these problems by switching to PDU mode SMS.
