I'm using SDL2_ttf-2.0.12, if I try to render grade simbol the result have an A before the grade. For example if I want 12° the result is 12A°.
Is a my error or is a bug?

Maybe the input string was not encoded in UTF-8.
Comment 2 Sam Lantinga 2017-09-10 05:52:44 UTC 
Can you attach a simple C program that shows the problem?

Thanks!

You're using TTF_RenderText* functions, which take latin1 input. You should use the TTF_RenderUTF8* functions, which interpret the input correctly.
