What are these weird characters on my web page?

[Fritzo]

This is strange. I moved a web page from one server to another and these weird boxes started appearing all over my articles.

For instance, if a sentance looked like this on the old server:

1) Check for any unfiltered devices and perform Line Stats test

It now looks like this:

1)????Check for any unfiltered devices and perform Line Stats test

Anyone know what those boxes are from?

My guess would be you moved from a windows based web server to a unix based.... but that is just a guess. Windows editors add extra "stuff" in their text documents, that will appear as jiberish on a unix server.

EDIT: run dos2unix on the files and it will remove the extra "stuff".... that is, if you are on a unix webserver and this is in fact the problem.

Actually it's the other way around---Linux to Windows. Any utilities for that?
