What language is this, please?
It's Unicode Sparteye. The characters are from a webpage written in a common Asian language like Chinese or Japanese. Your web browser is set to read only 256-character ASCII (the alphabet - caps and lower case - number and special characters) which means that unicode (which incorporates ASCII Roman and Arabic symbols with Asian symbols) comes out on your screen as mostly gibberish. The only legible word amongst your sample is Yahoo! which is, of course, ASCII.
In order to read these characters as they were written you will need to either install a unicode web browser OR you will need to adjust your browser preferences accordingly to recognise them. However, not all browsers hav this option.
