"..... what attracts the badgers is this fly larvae that’s in the grass, but you can’t treat it while the weather is cold. It has to be above 8oC.” Think they mean 8ºC. That's ASCII Code 167. Also, you can turn larvae into larvæ with ASCII 145

ASCII is a 7-bit code so there are no ASCII codes above 127. I think you are referring to DOS Codepage 850 or 858, which is only a Microsoft invention, and not a very good one.
Under Unicode/ ISO 10646 the relevant character codes would be ° = 176 and æ = 230.
