Is it the OS, or is it the font?

I see a 95 character that may be different from what you see.
What font
are you using?

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.

95 The bullet charcter on Apple's 10.4 OS is option-8 80
Shift-option k is 95

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?

** a bitten apple

........

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

** Newswatcher X 2.2 is designed for Mac OS 10

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.
