Sorry but I am a noob to all this Calibre and Kindle, so how to use your cheat sheet to remove these symbols? Can you explain this in detail?

You have to open the epub in the editor and do a search and replace on the odd characters. Plain search, not regex. Just carefully highlight the oddbal and hit hit Ctrl-F to bring up the seatch. Then put in the correct character to replace it in the replace box. Use the Insert Special Character tool to easily put in, for example, an M-dash. The cheat sheet will show you which one goes where...but pretty easy to figure out from the context. Probably safe to do a Replace All on these, but test it first with a few single Find/Replace steps before you let it rip.
If you have several books like this, save the searches to make it easier the next time.
Search should look something like this:
