why am I getting unusual symbols inserted in some web texts often followed by the symbol for trademark T M?

This is caused when your browser has troubles interpretting a symbol in the page's code. For example, if someone trys to use the Registered symbol (r) in most applications, some browsers have trouble interpretting that and will therefore insert its interpretation of the symbol (or a bunch of characters). For IE, Microsoft is said to be working on a patch for this. Hope this helps.

Check for spy-ware first, then get into the Word settings and see if you have it set to wright in accordance with Arabic or Jewish alphabets.  \n\nThis is strange!\n\nNDS

just going by this, http://www.engr.umd.edu/~nsw/font.htm, it doesn't mean anything. it's best to change your settings to that font.

Open the Internet Explorer (XP) --> View --> Encoding --> Select "Unicode (UTF-8)".\n\nThen close the IE & restart the system & then check browsing.\n\nIf the prob persists pls. mail me to imusaras@yahoo.com

On one of the toolbar there should be a symbol like this ¶. If you see it then you click it and they will disappear. If you don't then go to a down arrow on that toolbar row and click it. then add new icons and scroll down and look for this ¶ symbol or non-printing characters. then click it. Yay job done.

Sure, but I just need to know:  what does the symbol behind the "M" stand for?

It sounds like one of two things happened.  Either your regional and language settings were changed, or your default font for those items was somehow changed to Symbol.\n\nCan you post a screenshot?  Hit Alt-PrtScr, start PaintBrush, Edit -> Paste, save as, type a filename (choose JPEG for "save as type" if it gives that choice, if not, use 256-colour bitmap), and upload it to www.imageshack.us ... post the link it gives you ...

it's not a problem with your program, it's with your friend's.  it's showing up on their end with the html equivalents of quotes or whatever.  as far as i know there's nothing you can do, except perhaps change from rich text to plain text.

The individual characters are often esoteric to the manufacturer I believe, but the order is an ISO standard, check the wiki in my source.

Just want to tell you that if you have the page ready, careful with the spelling and the case of the address both at the content of the webpage AND the web browser when you try to type your webpage address.\nthe red x means you set there should be an object, but turn out the link embeded failed.

It's a special symbol, not a font.

certain pages (but very rare) are encoded with something that causes the browser to shake.

What is the context? Usually, it is just a decoration for the word. In certain instances, it could be the code to insert a smiley, like ((*sad*)).
