This was in the subject header of an email that my server trapped as spam........

What does that even mean as it's unintelligible garbage?

I believe it means it's unintelligible garbage. As such, it has no meaning.

It is possible, just possible, that it is in a non-English alphabet and just not rendering properly. Even if it was rendering properly it's probably spam anyway.

When that happens and it is only a couple of characters in the text string it is likely still just spam and done intentionally in an attempt to get by the spam filters.

I wouldn't loose any sleep over it either way.

It's aliens from the planet Zupta in the alternate universe Krango trying to make contact.

It's fine, just I've never seen garbled stuff like that in an email....

It gets trapped in the spam folder and doesn't hit my computer anyway it's on the email server... Probably scams and viruses

it probably is a chinese spam/porn website that is not translating. Run it through google.
It's a keyboard character translation problem...
