Hello

For what it is worth, #8596 is $2194 in hex, that in Unicode
translates into an arrow with double heads:

#9668 equals $25C4, which is a small, tall filled triangle
pointing to the left:

I don't know why an encoding similar to those characters would appear
for line feeds in your editor, but another idea is to try a different
editor, or save as plain text. I don't have a clue what OEM means in
terms of text formats, but at least Unix and UTF-8 should work fairly
well if your code doesn't contain foreign characters.
