It's only an EN DASH, U+2013 (dec 8211, oct 20023). There are only a  
few encodings that contain it:

	CP1250
	CP1251
	CP1252
	NeXT
	Mac-Greek
	Mac-Cyrillic
	Mac-Roman
	Adobe Standard Encoding

(not complete, I presume). This character has in UTF-8 a  
representation of 0xE2 0x80 0x92, three bytes. It seems that somehow  
each of this three bytes is converted into some three byte  
representation. A malfunction in GNOME? (At least I had once such  
problems in Fedora Core 1.)

Can you try to paste into an UTF-8 encoding buffer? Its mode-line  
should start with -u: (or -U: in GNU Emacs 23.0.0).
