Can you post a link to the web page where you see the  () code?

I have cleared all current icons,mostly they occur in the back end of my site in my editor page,only recently they have been appearing on my published site. So wouldn't be able to give you access,was hoping someone may have experienced the same problem. Thanks for the response

This time I see an  () which I assume you mean. The code is in the page source.

Yes , but are wondering why this caret is showing up on the pages

I have no idea how that code got into the pages.

Are you using templates to create the pages that might add such code?

Yes, I do use templates and am having my web provider check them to see how these icons could have been integrated. Was hoping someone else had come across these, as some one before though it may have been the charset set incorrectly Thanks for your help
