Where about on the page does it show that?

Moderators Andavari Posted March 4, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2009 Prime example is the IE7Pro website, as seen here in the screenshot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I see them all the time on Japanese game sites. I figure they're just representations of characters our western keyboards don't recognize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators TwistedMetal Posted March 4, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2009 I don't get it on my firefox, but I have seen them before. Like he said, with some jap sites. You might want to do a complete uninstall, delete profile/everything, and do a full install on it.

Moderators DennisD Posted March 4, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2009 I get the same in Firefox, although this is how they look in Opera: Just in case you needed to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted March 4, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2009 Sandboxed in Opera....nothing. Could it be a java thing?

You might want to do a complete uninstall, delete profile/everything, and do a full install on it. This is a clean install of Firefox. It isn't just my computer I've seen this on the laptop my mom has. Sandboxed in Opera....nothing. Could it be a java thing? I don't have Sun Java RunTime SE installed, also Java has always been disabled in my Firefox installations. It's not a JavaScript issue either, since disabling it produces the same funny looking images on the IE7Pro website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigathus Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I just checked the IE7Pro website, and I'm not getting anything strange. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocker360 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Have you change the settings in "Regional and Language Options" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireryone Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Try changing the character encoding, I can get unusual icons there by changing it. FF3.0.6 View > Character Encoding > pick one fireryone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 5, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2009 Haven't changed anything from the default options in Firefox's lang/regional coding or character encoding hence there's no reason to since I'm using the U.S. English version. It's not really much of an issue, I just wondered what they were since numerous websites have them and I didn't know what they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If you look at FF's settings in about:config you will see those sort of characters here and there. There was one setting "network.IDN.blacklist_chars" that I googled. Still not sure what it all means atm.

5teveuk Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi, I think what they are is 3D barcode images. These are images very much like the ones on the forum. They hold information.My phone has a barcode reader which, when you copy the image, stores the information. It saves you having to remember web addresses etc. Well I hope I'm right they look very similar. I know I haven't explained things very well but if you google 3D barcodes its all there. Hope this solves the mystery. Steve aka 5teveuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
