At the risk of reviving an old discussion, here's a question: in the current draft is a statement about the degree sign to be placed on the right of the number without any qualification. I wondered if this is correct, as I have seen the opposite custom, placing the degree sign to the left (in logical reading order). Incidentally Najib's table above seems to suggest that both can happen.

As mentioned in Issue#101, CLDR shows the distinction between Arabic and Persian:
