desktop-read usage and syntax ::error, strange character

For some reason, when booting after a crash, the desktop isn't loaded; that is, the files which were loaded in the previous (crashed) session aren't loaded again. I suspected this was due to "~/.emacs/.emacs.desktop.lock", so I deleted it. Then I close emacs and start it again, but still the desktop isn't loaded.

So then I try to load it by hand, ie, I run "M-x desktop-read"... this yields the error: "eval-buffer: Symbol's value as variable is void: Î". Yes, the last character is a capital "I" with a carot above it. If, from the "*scratch*" buffer I run (desktop-read "/home/user/.emacs.d/"), I get exactly the same error message.

Anyone know what's going on?
