I've been noticing these 'characters' >>>>�<<< on the SOTT page. Does anyone else see them?

"So far our results match the properties of binary asteroids quite well," said astronomer Kevin Walsh of the Observatoire de la Cote D'Azur in Nice, France. Walsh led the study when he was a graduate student at the University of Maryland, working with his advisor Derek Richardson and Patrick Michel of the Cassiope�'e, University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, in Nice.

Looks as if it may be an OCR Optical Character Recognition software glitch trying to translate the character æ.

In this case it should be Cassiopeæ
 
I am using Firefox 3.0 and seeing the same thing. I tried changing and playing around with the "character encoding" in Firefox but it didn't make a difference.
