The only other insight I can provide is that as I was debugging the issue I saw the following: the degree symbol in the input file was an 0xc2b0 as reported by the hex editor. Once I read that in a QString using a default QTextStream and looking at the string in Qt Creator's debug window is was an 0x00b0. Then if I wrote it out using a default QTextStream, it was written to the output file as just an 0xb0. Changing the output stream's codec to UTF-8 resulted in the output file containing 0xc2b0 like the original file. Oh, and this is Qt 5.3.2 if that matters. I'm still stuck using an old Qt version at this point.
