Strange characters

Strange characters

[bryceadamprescott]

I've used subversion before but I've only used git a handful of times. At my
new job I am using git and me and my boss (who is also new to git) is having
a problem with UTF-8 characters. It seems that git is replacing some
characters here and there with strange UTF-8 characters that display as a
question mark in a diamond. Strangely enough the code still compiles with
thousands of warnings about the UTF-8 characters. Any help would be
appreciated.

Git shouldn't modify the contents of the files at all (except for
line-end if you ask it to). Could you provide a reproducible example
of what's happening?
