Just curious, how do these weird characters appear in the title?

I've often wondered about this, myself. These strange hierglyphics appear every once in a while in articles posted on FR.

Are they from the world of Sheila Jackson Lee's "code words"?....(she thinks Newt's use of the phrase "Food Stamp President" is code for a racist slur).

Some quotation marks appear this way, the “curly ones” — it usually comes from cut-and-paste, if the text uses the curly looking ones. I usually delete them and replace them with “ (straight ones), which appear as normal quotation marks, but this time I forgot. I did notice it happens to others too. When I use quot marks from my computer, they come out OK.

As to really WHY, I have no idea.
