Weird symbols

I am noticing that lots of my posts are showing up weird. They look normal when I type them then post with question marks. Any ideas?

Yes, the question marks make the post look as if it has been copied/cut and pasted from somewhere else. Odd!

Quite @Curryong, in my case, it only happens when copy/pasting a quote (source from link) or when I make a my own ''draft'' to then copy/paste.

The site seems to have enabled or doesn't recognize instant pasting versus typing and if vocabulary is wrong it's in red to correct. So sometimes when I quote or draft, I take the trouble to rewrite the symbols, punctuation marks, which the site doesn't recognize via copy/paste and replaces it with a question mark.
