My first guess would be a faulty characters in whatever font you're using.

Compare it with a working font and see if that's the problem.  Type the
problematic characters into a text editor.  Change the font in the text editor
to a different one.  Did the character suddenly become correct?  If so,
you've found the problem.

Then the short-term fix is to use a different (correct) font and the long-term
solution will start with filing a bug report against the faulty font.
