I've seen that a time or two, but don't recall what app it was in.  I think it 
might have been KDE, however, which brings me to the point.. I think that 
happens to be the glyphs whatever western font may have at those high 
character values or whatever.  If you had the correct font, it would show the 
correct glyphs.

BTW, those rectangles look like dominoes to me.  <g>  Those are small 
rectangular blocks of wood or whatever, with dots marking numbers, one number 
at each end, as played in a game called dominoes.  I assume whatever font it 
is was used by one of the sponsors as a doubling for a domino font, for some 
sort of game.

Of course, that's just guessing, here..
