Recipients of my emails receive random multiple question mark symbols in their messages. Why!

more options

Lately, when we send our emails by "Thunderbird" the recipients receive random question mark symbols (which I did not type) in their messages. I cleaned up the keys of my keyboard( a vintage Microsoft unit). My keyboard is ok. When I send the same type of messages through my Gmail or another account, the above-noted question marks do not appear. I could change my email provider ,however I am looking for a less dramatic solution to the problem.
