If you have access to a refreshable braille device, test it there too. I
had a similar issue but can't remember if it was a negative number or a
degree symbol. Whichever one it was, while it visually looked correct, when
reading the character with braille it wasn't the right character.
Unfortunately, I don't recall what we ended up using that read correctly
with braille, announced correctly with the screen reader, and visually
looked correct. I only remember that I'm glad we had someone that could
read braille and pointed out we were using the wrong character.
