in thread print Unicode characters

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "degree sign". I kept getting a "wide character in print" warning. However, I think that this is what you're after: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use encoding 'utf8'; 
use charnames ':full';

print 
"\N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH DOT ABOVE}\n";

    Add this to your script to get rid of the warning: 

    binmode STDOUT, ":utf8";
