I think it is just a display character someone typed in a message or from
their tagline file.

From what I understood from apam's post there is a special graphics mode
in the linux terminal that is activated with <Ctrl> N or character 14.
For whatever reason my terminal goes into that graphics mode when that
character is encountered, the musical note character. Instead of seeing
letters and numbers I see graphics characters.

 Ol> Is the linux console and ssh using the UTF-8 mode?

My terminal is UTF-8 so I assume the terminal and ssh use that as well.
