If you press the ALT button and type numbers up to 250 or so on the keyboard's number pad, you'll get all kinds of weird symbols, for example ALT-155 is ¢

± is a math symbol for plus/minus.
§ is called a "section symbol" and "is a typographical character used mainly to refer to a particular section of a document, such as a legal code."

the first one is the plus or minus sign that is used in calculus. the second one is used in certain languages.
symbols such as those are formed by pressing alt plus a combination of numbers. example = alt + 168 is the upside down question mark i believe.

they are a sign that there is something wrong with your keyboard, you must have accidentally switched something on that puts up symbols rather than letters
