Can't set ° character from script

I’m able to paste a degrees symbol into the text property of a TextLabel, but whenever I try doing so from a script it breaks and shows the replacement character (�) instead, which means that the character gets altogether ignored when shown on the label.

This is an issue with Studio script editor, I believe - it should be saving scripts as UTF-8 but it isn’t.

I think my friend found a way around this a few weeks ago in regards to characters with accent marks, I’ll ask him and report back.
