What are the symbols either end of the heading tags for Elizabeth?

Question

Could someone please look at Elizabeth Gentle's profile and explain what the funny bits either end of the heading tags do.

Comments

No idea what they are ◹, or why they were added.  I have removed them, and removed the other level 2 header formatting per standards.

many thanks. They had me flummoxed and didn't seem to be serving any purpose, but I thought I'd ask first!

They are what I call “extended ASCII. They should be removed.   The profile also has “special characters” for the bullets that should be removed.

Probably a result of working in a program like MS Word and copying that formatting into the bio.

Perhaps send a message to Ernestina asking how she works to create text for the bio. It looks like she produced these characters.
