This smells like a different character set used to display the text.
IIRC, ISO-646 defines this characters to be replacable by national
characters. A long long time ago, program listings printed on German
line printers showed up funny:
arrayäiü = 0;
instead of
array[i] = 0;
GnuPG does not change the data encrypted or signed except when using
textmode (-t) which does a lineend character mapping, similar to FTP
ascii mode.
