Since upgrading to SDK 8.1.0, I notice that sometimes the degree ° character does not work in the simulator. When restarting the simulator once or twice, it then works again. Will add images in the comments.

This has added fuel to the fire of the ongoing, years-long debate about whether you can or should use an older SDK to build for a device with a newer CIQ API level that the SDK doesn't support. Details: - edge1050/compiler.json currently has connectIqVersion...
