When checking the weather for different locations in org-babel, I encountered an issue where the symbol for partly cloudy was not displayed correctly. Here is the code I used:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell :results output
curl 'wttr.in/{Paris,SanJose,Washington}?format=4'
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: Paris: 🌧   🌡️+10°C 🌬️↗9km/h
: SanJose: ☀️   🌡️+16°C 🌬️↘15km/h
: Washington: ⛅️  🌡️+12°C 🌬️↓4km/h

The symbol of partly-cloudy in washington was not rendered:

I'm currently using Emacs 29.1 on Windows 10, and have set the symbol fonts as ""Segoe UI Emoji" which does have symbol of partly-cloudy.

(set-fontset-font t 'symbol "Segoe UI Emoji" nil 'prepend)

I alterntively tried "Symbola" font but the issue repeats. How could solve the problem?

And this morning Nov9, the results started coming back in Celsius :( unexpected.

The issue was resolved by substituting UTF-8 with UTF-16：

(set-default-coding-systems 'utf-16)
