Degree char (\u00B0) is being written to XML with an angstrom char preceding it.

Xstream has been an excellent framework to use and I've been very impressed with it. I do have one small issue with the degree character when it's marshalled to xml though.

I am using Xstream to write our AddChecksheetForm object to Xml. There a several String fields which contain the degree character (\u00B0). When the AddChecksheetForm is marshalled, the resulting xml contains the degree symbol but it's preceded by an angstrom symbol (\u212B).

I have written a custom converter (AddChecksheetFormConverter) but the code to write out these strings is pretty simple. Here's an example:

writer.startNode("tempRangeMin");
writer.setValue(checksheetForm.getTempRangeMin());
writer.endNode();

How do I fix this issue? Or is this a bug?

Thanks
