   Why do you use random Unicode Private Area characters on a
public-facing website?  That is utterly non-portable to anyone.  What do
those private area codepoints do at the top of your homepage?  Do you
realize that your site is utterly unusable for many people, especially
the vision-impaired?  This is a screenshot:

   I would recommend that you obtain web designers that understand
Unicode and web accessibility, and make a site that is usable to people
using standards-compliant browsers.
