This sounds plausible cause of this bizarre behaviour, but: I had View, char encoding, Unicode UTF-8 , autodetect OFF. But changing to auto detect Universal (and reload) didn't cure. Adding UFT-16 from the more encodings (but not selecting it) seemed to make the symbols show OK. But this doesn't persist and after some fiddling it is clear I don't understand how this (doesnt always) works.
