It's the ALT codes. If you hold ALT and then push the numeric pad (the one that's 3x3x3 not the 9 in a row) with certain numbers you get extra characters.

EG, Alt+0163 gives me a £. ╬ÄÄ«▬ are all pushing ALT + the number 2 a few different amounts. http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html
