[vtkusers] Displaying the degree symbol "\u00B0" in vtkCornerAnnotation

[Alok]

I accidently hit post too quick earlier:

Here's the completed and corrected post:

Hey,

This is a silly question.
I have been trying for a while to display a degree symbol in
vtkCornerAnnotation.

The way I am trying to do it is like this:
std;:string angle = computeAngle()+"\u00B0";
cornerAnnotation->SetText(3,angle.c_str()); //where cornerAnnotation if of
type vtkCornerAnnotation.

This displays something like 50° rather than 50°
When I display the string on a terminal it works as expected.

Am I missing something here?
