Re: (no subject)

These are "numbers" that have no printable character equivalent in the
display character set that you are using. They are thus "rendered" using
two or more characters in your application. You would normally filter out
the non printable characters (ie. binary data, control characters (<32 or
in the terminal control section of ASCII).
