That character is C1 Controls: END OF GUARDED AREA.  There is no Unicode 
graphic associated with it and it is not one of the few control 
characters that have any significance in Unicode.

Firefox on Debian also faults it: 'adventures — as "professional" 
athlete, stand-up comedian, movie bad guy or circus performer —'. 
It is probably a Microsoft code page character, but the page charset is 
UTF8, not a Microsoft code page. Actually, I have been unable to find 
any common code page where that codepoint represents a character that 
would make sense in context.

This is a bug with the New York Times article.
