That's the Font Awesome.
Seems like something may be amiss in the css for it.
A link would be useful, to see for myself.

Tested with Chrome and  IE11 on Windows, both looking good.
Maybe there's a proxy between your PC and your website filtering /blocking content?

Looks good to me as well ... like @Burke Knight stated, those icons are from the Font Awesome font set.

Usually if you are seeing Chinese Logogram characters it means one of two things:
1) you are using a really old browser, like ie7, those browsers do not support FA
2) Some server issue such as incorrect MIME type on some of the files or a CORS issue

If its a server issue, I'd suggest a few things to try ... probably the easiest is to try what I show in option C) since that will take care of the other issues, should those be issues at all.

A) IF its a CORS issue add to your .htaccess
Code: [Select]
<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot|svg|woff|woff2)$">
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
    </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

B) If its a MIME type issue add the following
Code: [Select]
 AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject .eot
AddType application/font-woff .woff
AddType application/font-woff .woff2
AddType application/x-font-truetype .ttf
AddType image/svg+xml .svg
AddType application/x-font-opentype .otf

If you can't do anything to your server:
C) you can try to use a CDN to deliver the fonts instead (something I think we should add to the core TBH).  In Load.php
Code: (find) [Select]
	loadCSSFile('font-awesome.min.css');
Code: (replace) [Select]
	loadCSSFile('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css');

Would you mind asking other members of your forum if they have the same issue?
Where are you from and what language is the operating system? (I assume Windows?)

Yep, what radu said about Opera mini: it doesn't work with FA...

About the others, I really have no idea...
But you didn't tell me what language is your OS. ;D
