Funny Characters showing in my ajaxsearch dropdown menu.

I can’t figure out where and how to delete these characters from my ajaxsearch dropdown menu.

I solved it myself. to anyone who experience these characters.. they don’t have to do anything with ajaxSearch. I just edited the forms.css file in ModxHost template directory.
in #ajaxsearch_output, color was set to white thus making these characters appear so I deleted the css entry color:white.

These weird characters probably come from the ajaxSearch/templates/tplAjaxSearch.html file. Check this file and save it as UTF-8.

Read this post on the same subject (but with some others templates).
