Lately I have been seeing strange Unicode on multiple sites when using firefox. I have firefox 3.6.1.3 on a windows 7 machine. Has anyone else seen this? I did the usual google search but none of the solutions are working for me. Am seeing this on sites like http://techrepublic.com , http://www.digg.com , http://squareup.com and many more.
Any ideas from the almighty techrepublic community?

One more thing - realized all the websites I have issues with have 'Helvetica' as a main font-family -- going to try uninstalling all my helvetica fonts.
What kind of strange letters? Certainly, i see odd characters occasionally, as something was posted with a character set that my browser is not equipped to render properly, or perhaps the site software mangled the original characters. (At TR, certain characters are rendered as a series of question marks, but this isn't new.)
