The strange thing is that I am not typing anything where there are these characters. I just set the date (no time was set) and then the event which appears after these characters.
I have tried several times to delete and re-type the calendar event detail but this does not seem to help at all.
The details are below.
EVENT TITLE: “LFoundry LF150 – GDSII submission (Q1-12-1)”
EVENT DESCRIPTION: Deadline for submission of GDS II for Foundry’s LF150 tapeout.
The calendar list event shows up like this,
“December 31, 2012 ?¢a??a€? LFoundry LF150 – GDSII submission (Q1-12-1)
N/A, Tapeout”
