U+E280 is character = 57984:   - Unicode = U+E280; Decimal = 57984; HTML = .

That you're seeing unprintable garbage rendered as hex is a feature of your browser, when you don't have a font which can display said unicode character, you see the hex value

Install some asian unicode fonts, so you can see something other than hex

    I think he means the character with the UTF-8 encoding of "E2 80 9C", U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK. However, it is still very unclear on how these "garbage" characters are stored in his file -- a hex dump would be great.
