I posted a question a month ago on stackoverflow.com. Today, when I logged in to SO, the notification area showed me a strange character:

It looks like a downvote, but downvotes usually appear as -2, not ...that. Could someone tell me what's going on?

I would guess that is a encoding bug. I'm sure that should be a simple "-2" which indicates a normal downvote.

Here is a screenshot where you can see that you got a downvote: Downvote

For some reason the achievements drop down is using "en dash" (–) unicode character instead of the ordinary "-" character to mark negative reputation.

Your browser simply does not support the "en dash", as you'll most likely see in its test page.

Bug or feature? Only the team can answer that, but the above is the reason for what you see.
