Sorry I didn't get back to you, missed the e-mail.
This can be encountered with seemingly any querying involving the currency 
field (c4) and an unknown symbol.  I usually test with 9. Example:
http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+
9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9&f=snl1c4c1

Here's an example of what it can return:

"9","9",0.00,"",N/A
"9","9",0.00,"",N/A
"9","9",0.00,"xš",N/A
"9","9",0.00,"Xü™",N/A
"9","9",0.00,"˜H˜",N/A
"9","9",0.00,"ؐ",N/A
"9","9",0.00,"012",N/A
"9","9",0.00,"|¶
",N/A
"9","9",0.00,"",N/A
