This sounds plausible cause of this bizarre behaviour, but:
I had View, char encoding, Unicode UTF-8 , autodetect OFF.
But changing to auto detect Universal (and reload) didn't cure.
Adding UFT-16 from the more encodings (but not selecting it) seemed to make the symbols show OK.
But this doesn't persist and after some fiddling it is clear I don't understand how this (doesn’t always) works.
