Curiouser and curiouser.  I don't see any characters there at all, much 
less any asterisk and garbled chars.  Instead, in the source of the 
frame, the 'script' line is exactly as you show it here, i.e. the first 
char on the line is the "<" of the <script...> tag.  At least if I'm in 
the right frame.  The frames I see are:

1) Top, all the way across, with the word "Cheyenne" and the letters of 
the Cheyenne alphabet.
2) Upper left, between (1) and (2) and to the left of (4), with the 
words "English - Cheyenne" and the letters of the English alphabet.
3) Left, below (2) and to the left of (4), with the letters "A - a" at 
the top (or whatever letters you click on in (2)), and a column of 
English-Cheyenne words below.
4) Right, below (1) and to the right of (2) and (3), Cheyenne dictionary 
entries beginning with the clicked-on letters of (1).

The frame that has the <meta...> tag and the <script...> tag is the 
latter frame.

I wonder if your ISP has cached this dictionary, and is showing you an 
old view of it?
