(global-set-key (kbd "C-o") "±")
Then try `C-o'. Instead of inserting the char you get `C-u 1-' in the
minibuffer. Emacs seems to be interpreting `C-o' as a partial numeric
prefix arg.
But this works fine:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-o") "☬") to insert ☬.

No, it interprets ±, which is a single byte with the 8th bit set, as a
meta character.
(I wonder why you expected this to work even.)

Because ☬ doesn't fit in a single byte.
