weird characters in signature

[Rockitman]

I have a user running Outlook 2003, and whatever signature she creates, it
has some special weird characters that appear before her signature. I don't
know how to get rid of them. Please advise.

Which character?
How is the signature being created?
Via Word or Outlook's internal editor or another editor that you have set as
the Advanced Editor?

looks like the number 1 with a horizontal line over it followed by >>,
followed by and upside down question mark.
This appears on the line right above the start of her signature.
She is using Outlook's internal editor to create the signature.

"" is called byte-order-mark. I don't know how it gets into
signatures; the question has been asked a number of times here.

For what message type is that particular signature?

Usually a character encoding/Unicode issue. The OP should try using UTF-8
encoding.
