Seems somebody has played with character coding of the file and there are
serious encoding issues. I guess it was an x file that was managed as y by
an editor and then reconverted to x thinking it was an y.

That line and the 3 next are supposedly making replacements of entity
�, Unicode replacement character (U+FFFD) that is used to replace an
unknown or unprintable character.

Believe me.
