Are you talking about the ?'s in brackets? It's probably because he/she is using a special font character that isn't installed on your machine. I get it quite frequently myself.

im refering to the "[I (L) .zip files(6)]" part and its no beacuse of the fonts because it happens with normal fots also.

For everyone else: Basically his friend's name has "I (L) .zip files (6)" in it, but in the conversation window it is only showing "I files (6)"

As to why this is happening, I have no idea, sorry. It is a strange bug.
