can't correctly display "degree symbol" after locale change in vista sp1

Hi
I've been experiencing a problem with correctly displaying the "degree symbol" (for temperature) after locale change in vista home premium sp1. The sign or symbol is displayed as the chinese character for earthworms (蚓 . Which is kinda annoying as it appears in HWmonitor, RMClock and any program that uses the degree sign. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

 

Free bump for the fact that it's the character for earthworms. Doesn't look like anyone's had a solve-all solution yet. What specific locales did you change it between? Have you tried switching locales back and forth again (or possibly to some third locale and then to the one you actually want) and seeing if the problem persists? If that doesn't help and no one here can help, you might have to shoot Microsoft an e-mail. I sent them a help request once (albeit with what's probably a bit more orthodox of a problem) and they responded quite quickly.

 

Thanks for the reply. I changed it from default which is United States (english) to Hong Kong (Traditional Chinese). When I switch back to default the "earthworms" go away. But I need it in Traditional Chinese because my itunes library wouldn't display correctly if my locale is anywhere else (because I tagged all my song files(not just chinese, japanese and korean as well) in my previous computer in the Traditional Chinese locale) plus vista can't read file paths that have folder names other than english... Thanks again!
