His postings do not specify the character set he is using.
Probably it is Windows-1252.

Most likely, if that code was supposed to represent a bullet.

A more standard character set leaves the
character 95 undefined.

Codes 80..9F hex and U+0080 .. U+009F belong to the C1 control area in
many standards (ISO 8859 and Unicode) and 95h represents "Message
Waiting" control code.

While I have used C1 controls to control terminals, I do not recall
that I would have used MW :-).

You apparently don't understand that what you see on your screen is
not what others see on their screen!

What do you see when you hit Shift-option k?
Don't just hit the keys, but explain what you see on the screen.

Also, check if you can set the news program to use a standard character
set, like ISO-8859-1 or Unicode UTF-8.

You probably see that only on a Mac.
Windows users most likely see a bullet.
Users of other systems see an unrecongnized character, shown on my
system as the hex value in angle brackets.
