What is the "squiggly" writing that takes the place of the author's name?

How do I get rid of the "squiggly" writing under the albums in iTunes, and why are they there?

It looks like either characters being misinterpreted because of a different character encoding set, or font corruption. What is the source of the files? I use an older iTunes and the Advanced menu permits limited modification of character encoding sets (but be careful because using the wrong one can result in track labels disappearing completely). If it is font corruption that needs to be addressed separately.
