I solved my problem using this code to get the correct value 

string prText ="º";
int int2 = Char.ConvertToUtf32(prText, 0)

and result will be 186

The degree symbol is not representable as an ASCII character. From the documentation

ASCIIEncoding does not provide error detection. Any Unicode character greater than U+007F is translated to an ASCII question mark ("?").

You may want to use ANSI encoding with the Windows-1252 code page. In this encoding, the degree symbol is represented as 0xBA (186).
