True, but it may be worth mentioning that the unicode chacacters known as ring above and that of degree symbol aren't actually the same glyph. In my 8x8 terminal font, the degree symbol looks to be a 4x4 circle in upper center, while ring above is a 4x3 cicle even higher in the line and slghtly more to the left. I doubt there are many countries keyboards that actually contain a degree symbol in the default keymap. Of course, you could configure the ring key when not used in combination with a letter as the degree glyph, but you could do the same on the UK keyboard if you can decide on a symbol you can lose. Just the graphic on the keyboard will be slightly out in that case, but as someone who runs a UK laid out keyboard in a US configuration (so that getting a pipe is a two finger keypress, rather than a three finger keypress on this keyboard by default), my fingers clearly don't care what's actually written on each key.
