Three wrappers seems a little... enthousiastic : ) Did you submit your code to the W3C Validator? It will show you where all the errors are, though I guess not always in plain English. It would, though, find the unclosed tags Tim found (div tags). The black questionmarks should be changed to whatever they were supposed to look like with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references.
You're using characters in your code that most people won't be able to see, so they show up as ? or triangle ?. Other than that, use a validator.
