Strange characters

I have found out that my site www.mendotaareaseniorservices.org when published looks fine but when I view the site through the browser (Google) it shows strange characters where symbols (!, $, %, etc) should be. Can you advise what has happened? I need to have an answer on this as soon as possible.

I have found that if I publish and preview the site appears fine. But when I pull the site up on a different browser is where the strange characters show up. Please look into this if you can.

The problem is, Homestead stopped updating their Web Builder Plus, to be phased out. Those characters are from the "tabs" and some "spaces" in your words. If you remove those tabs to start with, many of those issues will go away. Homestead told me this morning to copy out the text, delete the text box, then make a new text box and copy back in, from the outside source, the desired text. Save, Publish and see where you stand. They suggested that we create new sites, using their latest Web Builder software.
