(Get the code!)
Those weird characters actually pop up in a lot of different places. I will attach two screenshots of their appearance.
I first noticed them in Synaptic. Some of the package descriptions had them. Sometimes if you hovered your mouse over them, they would go away, sometimes not.
I have a FAT volume that's mounted with the icon on the desktop. It used to be named 15 GB Volume or something like that before, but now it's a bunch of garbled characters.
Now, I just saw some more in System Log. I tried closing the program and starting it again and it still showed up.
Some other times, these characters also appear on some websites.
This forum thread also has some more information on this bug. http://
