They are english characters. They're ligatures, used in printed English a lot. Look closely at the nicest printed books you have for fi and fl and you'll find they're joined in a different way to if they had just been separate letters. So it is reasonable for Tesseract to try to recognise when they're used, as its goal is recognising printed text.
