The characters you mentioned have the following Unicode values:

๐…ธ (U+1D738)
๐…น (U+1D739)
๐…บ (U+1D73A)
๏ฟฝ (U+FFFE)
Meanings:
๐…ธ (U+1D738), ๐…น (U+1D739), ๐…บ (U+1D73A):

These characters belong to the "Musical Notation" block and are used to represent musical notations. They are part of the Unicode character set used to encode modern music symbols.
๏ฟฝ (U+FFFE):

This is a "Noncharacter." Noncharacters are used internally by software systems and should not be used in public data. Specifically, the code U+FFFE is reserved to detect byte order issues when Unicode data is exchanged between different systems. U+FFFE is used as a byte order marker and should never appear in normal Unicode text flow.
Details:

๐…ธ (U+1D738): Represents "Musical Symbol Combining Stem."
๐…น (U+1D739): Represents "Musical Symbol Combining SP" (Stem Part).
๐…บ (U+1D73A): Represents "Musical Symbol Combining SB" (Stem Bottom).
๏ฟฝ (U+FFFE): Noncharacter, used for byte order detection.

These characters likely were not intentionally inserted into your email text. They might have been introduced due to a character encoding issue or an error while copying and pasting text from a rich content source.
