Degrees symbol in GEO_DMS string shows up as a strange character

When formatting a position in DMS format on the Instinct Crossover and Venu Square 2 like this:

var dms=posn.toGeoString(Position.GEO_DMS) as String;
The degrees symbol in the string shows up as Unicode 57520, hex 0xE0B0 instead of decimal 176.
This happens in the simulator in SDK 7.4.3.
I didn't test every device but others I tried do not have this problem.

    I was able to look into this both on device and in the simulator.

    I found that on device, the degree symbol was showing up on VenuSq2, but not on Instinct Crossover.
    The degree symbol was not showing up for either in the simulator, which makes me believe it is more than likely a simulator issue, and possibly with the Control and Data Processing (CDP) that the Instinct uses where the Venu does not.

    I went ahead and made a bug ticket with those findings, and sent it to our tools team to further investigate.

    The picture on the left is on the device, the left is in the simulator.
