I noticed them too viewing my mail in Mozilla 1.3b in several commit 
messages on cvs-all. They seem to be the standard character that Mozilla 
uses when it doesn't know how to render a character as they turn up in 
large quantites in 90% of the spam I get.....

I have no idea why they would be appearing where they are. They appeared 
in Martin Blapp's two commits to editors/openoffice-devel and Akinori 
Musha's commit to convert/ruby-lv.
