That looks sort of (but not quite) like UTF-8
encoding, which includes the ASCII character set.
Although normally you'd see something like "\u00d9"
("\u" + a code). So it's some sort of unicode variant.
For anything that doesn't fit into the ASCII range
you'll see some sort of encoded value like that.
Does the web site that you are testing use .properties
files or some other method of externalizing the
strings for localization? If so, you could probably
use those strings when doing the asserts and not worry
about substitution. The strings in those files would
probably look something like this:
