Or are these stinkin' Assyrians?

I think it has something to do with quotation marks in thread titles.
About a week or so, right? Noticed it, too.

It seems to be some sort of hieroglyphics that stand for an apostrophe.

I think they are used by your browser when it doesn't recognize the original character in the text. Maybe for unusual symbols or characters of foreign languages which don't have a corresponding font installed on your computer. Maybe. hehe :)

In
This thread, I see the weird symbols in the article summary (on the POSTS page), but not in the article itself - there I see a dash, after the word "Birthday"

Those symbols are how Chinese characters get mapped into that Latin character set that your computer and browser use.
It is just part of the Red Chinese takeover of FR. Don't worry about it. Nothing to see, move along, move along.

they are used by your browser when it doesn't recognize the original character in the text. That's not it - compare the text in the summary for the GOOGLE NO-SHOW article (on the POSTS page) to the text in ther article itself .

I got something similar when I upgraded MySQL on another forum I run. I think it might have to do with some sort of a security flaw with quotation marks having been fixed.
