This is only a guess, but it might be the Braille translator not knowing how to show a certain symbol in braille. Here is, as I see it, how this works. The braille system knows about a lot of symbols, like accented letters, Greek symbols, and even some math symbols. But there are some things, like Emoji, some obscure dashes, and bullets or stars, that the system doesn't know how to describe in braille, but it has to show something, to let you know that something is there. So, it shows the Unicode numbers that make up that thing it can't descibe. Admittedly, it could be helpful to show what unicode describes the letter as, which you can see if you have your screen reader speak that letter, but for now that's the only way you have of know exactly what that thing is. One good thing, though, is that once you memorize the number-letter combo of the character, you can recognize it again if it ever comes up, as those combos rarely, I think, ever, change. As I said though, this is only a big long guess, and I could be wrong.
