Often what you see is a character encoding problem, where the file was written in a different encoding than what you're reading the file with. Such as a unicode file being read by an ascii-only program.

I found that users are copy pasting text from word doc to the text box provided to them so the bullet and other special functions are converted to these weird characters..

i couldnt solve the square type issue though
