Your document claims to be UTF-8, and apparently your server supports this theory.

But in line 126 (reported by the validator) you use a degree character that's
not encoded as UTF-8.  There are various ways to fix this, two ideas:

- you can simply replace this character by &#186; (decimal for hex. BA)
- you could also try to declare windows-1252 where you now have UTF-8
