Some Drop down menus on many different web sites show garbage characters - paypal, quotes.insurance33.com, etc. It looks like special ANSI characters or non-text unicode characters. The websites show UTF-8 encoding.

If you manually change the encoding does that fix the menus?

tap the Alt key > View menu > Character Encoding > Western (ISO-8859-1)
