Deliberately bad software or bad design is not software gore, it must be something unintentional

I'm guessing someone failed to include a font pack for icons with the release, so what we're seeing is the unicode gibberish that would be styled and replaced with icons from the font pack if it existed, but since it doesn't its getting rendered with a default font instead. It could also be something else entirely, but that's my initial assumption.
