I'm guessing these are supposed to be letters + tildes on top. Funny thing,
tho' - on my computer, which has a Hebrew + English system, I see them as
hebrew letters.
I've rarely seen that before - I think the only other time was when someone
sent me email, with one letter that appeared as a hebrew character. OTOH, I
often get emails that are supposed to be in hebrew but arrive as a mass of
unrelated characters ([aeiou] with tildes or accent marks).
Not being a *total* math geek (only a partial one ;-) I'm not really sure what
would cause that. Obviously it has something to do with my system... but what?
Any thoughts?
