- Freaky control characters showing up in Firefox on Macs.
- They show up on nothing else -- not in Safari, not on PCs.

What the hell should I be looking for that will make this stop?

In particular, mac made some different decisions with respect to the general issue of rendering non-standard characters. These decisions are not outside the scope of the relevant standards because there's some room for interpretation. Anyway, browsers on macintosh will simply handle some of these characters differently. It's easy enough to put out html and encodings that will work properly on both once you understand this issue. html entities are the safest; unicode encodings are also good to go. For your purposes the entities should be just fine.
