Okay here is a new one on me that I don't really know how to handle. We use a
program that pulls resumes of Monster and other job boards. We load the resumes
up on our web site and have them displayed by our clients. However we wind up
with these strange square boxes all over the page. For instances once shows up
between the brackets </FirstName> <LastName> below:

<FirstName>Martin</FirstName>?<LastName>Gillespie</LastName>?<br />

You can see what I mean by looking at this link:

How can I get ride of these?

It's caused by a mismatch of encoding. The data is being sent as UTF-8,
but is actually iso-8859-1. If you select the View menu on your browser,
and check Character Encoding, you'll see it's marked as UTF-8. Switch
the browser to iso-8859-1 (Latin 1 or Western European), and everything
displays correctly.

The meta tag you have in the top of your page is useless, because the
encoding is being sent as a server heading, which takes precedence. You
need to change the way the pages are encoded and sent to the browser.
