That seriously points to it being a broken font, then. What's on the page is an instruction to print character number whatever. Depending on what's in the font, will be what you see. If you copy and paste the text, you're copying the data about which (numbered) characters are there. It'd take something that copies the data, plus the formatting, and re-applies the same formatting (and therefor same font), for an error to be repeated. The original poster could test that out in any editor that lets them change fonts. Type the character out several times, and change the font for each of them, separately. When you pick a broken font, it'll change what it looks like. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
