I think it's got my measure and is teasing me.

I really hope I misunderstand what you wrote, because Sigil does not take DOC as an input. Trying to do so would generate pure trash. Sigil can take HTML, EPUB, or TXT as input. BTW, those symbols that you quoted indicate characters in the text that are not in the declared character set.
FWIW, I just tried doing what I understood that you were trying. That is, to directly open a Word DOC in Sigil, which I know it cannot do. I got the same four symbols that you did, and no other error indication. It could probably be considered a shortcoming of Sigil that it lets people try things like that, but if you drop down the file type box when you use Sigil's open file dialog you will see the file types that Sigil can actually input.
