Instead, it displays a box containing small characters "276f"
What character encoding or what causes this?

If you are the one writing this HTML, there is no ">" shown in your
sample after the <a ...> tag of the anchor element. IOW, you want:
<a style=3D"font-size: 13px;" href=3D"http://links5=
.boston.com/ihvgbvtpmhhwzgdgwbckvwzkptwdztpqqcfzzcycgndn_frysjjbhs.ht=

See the > between the closing greater-than and the word Plymouth?
Conversely a < is used if you want to display a less-than "<" in
HTML. [1]
Check the validity of your HTML here:
http://validator.w3.org/
and for your CSS here:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
If this is not some HTML that you wrote, please provide a URL to the
page in question.
[1. Yes, I know that greater-thans normally do not need to be encoded... ]
