Aha : my suspicion was correct, but Jonathan found
the error while I was still re-formatting the code !
The ^^U and ^^V characters are the box numbers \spliteng and \splitheb
respectively, and they're appearing as characters in the output because of the
lines:
% split off what will fit on the page:
\spliteng\vsplit\engbox to \pageremaining%
\splitheb\vsplit\hebbox to \pageremaining%
In these lines, I assume you're intending to assign the split-off portions of
\engbox and \hebbox to these other box registers, but that's not actually
happening as there's no \setbox command; the \split* control sequences
themselves just represent the box numbers, and have to be used in conjunction
with some kind of box command to actually access the registers. In this case,
you probably meant to say:
\setbox\spliteng\vsplit\engbox to \pageremaining%
\setbox\splitheb\vsplit\hebbox to \pageremaining%

My /suspicion/ (given the odd nature of the
intrusive glyphs) is that somewhere you are
using the name of a box rather than its contents,
but I am just re-formatting your source to make
it easier for me to read ...
