programming guide I get these weird symbols. Anyone know what
they are? I'm just curious. They look like tiny little boxes
with 4 numbers inside.  share|improve this question I see
nothing but quotes. –  bmargulies Jan 8 '11 at 2:51 add comment

is not understood. The numbers read the unicode codepoint in
hex. It may mean the encoding of the page is set to the wrong
value, or that your browser can't handle it.  Try and see if
another browser shows it differently.  share|improve this answer
add comment  It's a character that is not present in the font
that is used to show the text. The digits in the little box is
the character code.  They probably used typographic quoation
marks (for example ˮ) instead of the regular quotation marks
(").  share|improve this answer add comment
