PERL cgi script... extra character driving me crazy
I'm using a PERL cgi script that uses rrdtool to make graphs. I can't get the syntax correct to use a degree sign (alt+0176 like this °) and also using a variable.
If I use single quotes, I can't call the variable. If I use double quotes, there is an extra symbol (Â) before the ° which goes away if I use double quotes without the variable.
A picture is worth 1000 words (I circled the error in pink):
Here is the relevant line of code that produces that extra letter:
Hi, I've created a script in csh that takes a file and checks it for mispelled words. Im almost done but I need to do two more things but I need help.
First, when displaying an incorrect word to the user, I need to show the line of the input file that contains the word.

hobbitgraph.cgi
HOBBITGRAPH.CGI(1) General Commands Manual HOBBITGRAPH.CGI(1)NAME
hobbitgraph.cgi - CGI to generate Xymon trend graphs
SYNOPSIS
hobbitgraph [options]
DESCRIPTION
hobbitgraph.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the hobbitgraph.sh CGI wrapper.
hobbitgraph.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the following parameters:
host Name of the host to generate a graph for
service Name of the service to generate a graph for
disp Display-name of the host, used on the generated graphs instead of hostname.
graph Can be "hourly", "daily", "weekly" or "monthly" to select the time period that the graph covers.
first Used to split multi-graphs into multiple graphs. This causes hobbitgraph.cgi to generate only the graphs starting with the "first'th"
graph and continuing for "count".
count Number of graphs in a multi-graph.
upper Set the upper limit of the graph. See rrdgraph(1) for a description of the "-u" option.
lower Set the lower limit of the graph. See rrdgraph(1) for a description of the "-l" option.
graph_start Set the starttime of the graph. This is used in zoom-mode.
graph_end Set the end-time of the graph. This is used in zoom-mode.
action=menu Generate an HTML page with links to 4 graphs, representing the hourly, weekly, monthly and yearly graphs. Doesn't actually gen-
erate any graphs, only the HTML that links to the graphs.
action=selzoom Generate an HTML page with link to single graph, and with JavaScript code that lets the user select part of the graph for a
zoom-operation. The JavaScript invokes hobbitgraph.cgi with "action=showzoom" to generate the zoomed graph webpage.
action=showzoom Generate HTML with a link to the zoomed graph image. This link goes to an "action=view" invocation of hobbitgraph.cgi.
action=view Generate a single graph image.
OPTIONS --config=FILENAME
Loads the graph configuration file from FILENAME. If not specified, the file $BBHOME/etc/hobbitgraph.cfg is used. See the hobbit-
graph.cfg(5) for details about this file.
--env=FILENAME
Loads the environment settings defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI.
--rrddir=DIRECTORY
The top-level directory for the RRD files. If not specified, the directory given by the BBRRDS environment is used.
--save=FILENAME
Instead of returning the image via the CGI interface (i.e. on stdout), save the generated image to FILENAME.
--debug
Enable debugging output.
ENVIRONMENT
QUERY_STRING Provided by the webserver CGI interface, this decides what graph to generate.
FILES
hobbitgraph.cfg: The configuration file determining how graphs are generated from RRD files.
