Alien Characters in Blank Email by Default

Hi,
I use Outlook 2003.
I have a signature, the usual, "This email is intended for the" - blah.
When I click on "new" email, I get an indent, a bit like Greek alphabet, in the left hand margin.

I can't turn it off and all the settings / preferences, i.e. formatting etc look standard. I now can't send emails for fear that people will think I'm an idiot who can't turn off a function.

Is it a bug or have I turned on a foreign language function?
I've spent over an hour trying to find the menu to turn it off... I'm self-employed and I'm nowhere without email.

Any help appreciated.

The characters look like a reversed P, with a double straight stroke. I can't copy them here, alas.

I suspect I have turned on a function as I went to hit "new" and hit CTRL or something, whereupon the screen added all these evil characters.

Every time I hit return, it adds a new one in the left margin.

Thanks in advance.
