What's with the weird characters?

You've no doubt noticed the strange characters
in one of the posts on this board. At the time
I'm writing this, I see what appears to be a pair
of Chinese characters.

This was not the case when I first made the post.
I wrote out the word "cafe", with the usual accent
over the "e", inserting this nonstandard character
by cut and paste. This hs seemed to work on a
number of webpages, at least in windows running
Internet Explorer, and still does, ruling out any
obscure change in IE as the cause. It worked on
this forum until recently, but all of a sudden,
where there was readable text, there is now
a brief stretch of gibberish.

I think - I hope - that you can still make out
my meaning from context, but this result is
displeasing, regardless. Please be aware that
this is happening, and confine yourself to using
the standard character set. (26 english letters,
the 10 numberals, etc.) So far, whatever the
glitch is, it doesn't seem to be a problem as
far as those characters are concerned. But as
for writing to Bravenet about the problem,
this is a free provider, so I think that you
can guess the kind of attention that I could
expect were I to report this. Realistically,
a brush-off would be the best I could hope for.

We can only do what we can do, right? Sigh.
