How do I print the degree character to Serial Output in VS/VM?

VS/VM (so I believe) uses Consolas 10 as standard font.
I looked for the character in the character list and found it numbered U+00B0.  I don't understand the '+' so I declare a constant for the character as
const char DEGREE_CHARACTER = char(0xB0);
and try to write it to Serial Output with
Serial.write(DEGREE_CHARACTER);
I have also tried
Serial.print(DEGREE_CHARACTER);

Both of these give me a small diamond character which I do not recognize.

How do I print the degree character to Serial Output in VS/VM?

Thanks

Yeah, well, ... this printed the characters
Code (C++)
Select All
void setup()
{
	Serial.begin(9600);

	for (int i; i < 256; i++)
	{
		Serial.print(char(i));
		Serial.print(" Decimal => ");
		Serial.print(i, DEC);
		Serial.print(" Hex => ");
		Serial.println(i, HEX);
	}
}

void loop()
{

}

So ... the font used by VS/VM for Serial Monitor does not have a Degree Symbol Tongue

So ... next question.  Can I change the font VS/VM uses for Serial Monitor and, if so, how do I do that?

Interesting thanks.

Can you confirm which windows font will give proportional spacing and a degree symbol?

I can change for next release
