Find the data sheet for your LCD display. Most manufacturers include a table of displayable symbols. Use the table to figure out the code to send.

If the table does not have the degree symbol, then you can make your own and store it in the CGRam of the display and call that instead.

First hit on google brought up the (probable) data sheet for this....

Like most, 0xdf is the degree symbol.....

This looks to be it... You will have to check and see.

Used Google and searched for CMC216 to find it.

printf(lcd_putc, "%2d %sc",temperature, 0xdf);? oxdf is the code for degree c.

How about the escape sequence:
Code:
printf(lcd_putc, "%2d " "\xdf" "C", temperature);

or in octal notation which doesn't require the funny string stuff:
Code:
printf(lcd_putc, "%2d /337C",temperature, 0xdf);
