This is a character encoding problem. I experienced it myself in the service worker demo which translated QuickBase pages from English to French this morning. Most web sites today use utf-8 encoding but QuickBase uses Windows-1252 encoding (at least today it does and I suspect it has in the past as well but I can't test it as there is no rollback). I first saw the diamond with question marks in my demo on French diacritical characters but when manually removed they still showed up on where some character entities were ( and &). The diamond with question mark is a tell tale sing of bad character encoding. This is also why users recently experienced some text wrapping problems on some QuickBase pages. Apparently in the move to new servers a character encoding problem leaked into pages containing non-breaking spaces and other character entities.

I cannot report this problem myself as someone accidentally sat on my laptop while I left it unattended and I have to type on my tablet.
