Visualization bug

There's a visualization problem in Lichess since two week ago. Look at this picture:

There're some gibberish characters instead of the "Online" green circle. Also the Spanish accents aren't displayed properly ("Análisis", "Búsqueda", etc).
Hola amigo pregunta pequeña, porque tu jugar en private mode? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

And sorry for not answer your problem but I wanted to add a touch of humor to the post.
Seems like CSS failed to load. Force refresh (Ctrl-F5) or clear browser's cache.
It's the font, not the CSS (at least for the icon, but I would assume the accents as well). It just randomly sometimes decides not to use the "lichess" font and falls back to a standard font. A simple reload usually fixes it for me (reloading can also cause it).
Right, it's the font. In my experience, happens more often in Chrome than in Firefox or other Chromium based browsers for some reason.
Finally I found out the error. It was character encoding. For some unknown reason, my browser was decoding the page as "Arabic (Windows 1256)". I had to install the Chrome extension "Set Character Encoding" to realize that. I switched to UTF-8 and now everything looks good.
