What the fk is that all about?
Keep seeing it or something similar at the end of posts.
Is it some sort of code?

it's the Unicode code for a confused face. PH doesn't do Unicode characters.

Treat it as a sign that the poster is an emoji-using dimwit.

I donated my life to forensic science many years ago. PH is all I have now.

Why on the list of topics does this show up as a proper as the title of the thread but when you are in the thread itself it shows as &#12853.

Very strange....

Differences in the way PH processes input for titles and message bodies. It looks like there's less processing on thread titles, but the message body is converted into entity codes. So - the unprocessed character appears in *some* browsers as the right character and as a marker glyph in others, while the version in the message body is converted into a HTML entity representation of the character code instead.

Much appreciated!

Thanks for the replies.
So why don't they just use the smiles that are at the top of the posting board
