It happens because certain characeter combinations have become widely-used emoticons; and software writers, trying oh-so-helpfully to render them as graphics, code so that those characters are automagically rendered as a graphic. I get around the problem with some creative spacing; you could render that page number in text to get around it. I don't know of any way to stop the automatic rendering, sad to say.

NO idea how that got in there -- I simply copied the text from the newspaper web page. Perhaps this is simply another WordPress hairball. Thanks for the heads up - I will delete.

Emoticon silliness strikes again—your page number has turned into a sunglasses-clad smiley. (And <i>damn</i>, that crap's annoying!) Ha!
