Most probably '°' is a multi-byte UTF-8 symbol. You can declare it as a
  const Deg: UTF8string = '°';
and obtain the part past it using
   NextPos := Pos(Deg,s)+ Length(Deg);
   Tail := Copy(s, NextPos, Length(s));

When working with strings containing non-ASCII characters you should 
forget about Char and character (byte) based functions. Use strings 
instead, even for single letters, and the string based functions (Pos, 
StringReplace...).
