I commonly see that problem with implementations using the wrong settings when it comes to the extra symbols. You probably need to install a different language pack so that it can accommodate all the other symbols. It would be annoying to see a string of characters every time you use a symbol on even of of your words.

Though it would be really easy to find a solution to that so you just have to look at the proper sources.
