There already - apparently less clarity than there really should be,
about what os(es) is/are on the machine, when trying lfs.

Are you copying from html or pdf versions of the book?
Do you get similar 'weird' copy'n'paste behaviour when dealing with
similar characters from, say, a website to word-processing doc, or
word-processing doc to terminal, or editor to word-processor, etc: or
is it only when copy'n'paste from lfs html/pdf directly into a terminal
shell-/command-prompt?
Are you working with a virtual-machine? What OS do you boot into immediately
after switching the machine on - is it Ubuntu or Windows or what? Do you
then run any VM stuff and try to do LFS from within that?
If it's Ubuntu, and you're not dealing with any virtual machine stuff,
then I _guess_ it may be some locale
If (as you seem to indicate) it's a wipeable machine, then you might be
fastest just installing say Slackware 14.1 and going from there; gives a
very clean and solid build environment.
