Screenshot of http://www.ubuntu.com/download

On various pages in ubuntu.com, such as http://www.ubuntu.com/download, spurious characters are displayed. See attachment, which shows, for instance "Ubuntu Desktop â-o", where "-o" is superscript. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop shows, as another example, "â⁻¢ How to run Ubuntu from a CD or USB stick â⁻o".

Rekonq and Firefox don't display these spurious characters.

The characters are not in the HTML source code. If text is selected with the mouse, they are not contained in the clipboard. They are displayed whether the rendering engine is KHTML or WebKit. View / Set Encoding is Default. Changing the encoding to something else doesn't alter the characters.
