Day before my exam. Writing/re-writing notes in Word.



I want to copy paste something and then all of a sudden these weird symbols pop up in my document and then spread to all of my word documents.


They look like this:

What do I do to remove them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance
