Answer 1

The alien symbol is not a Unicode character; but is in Microsoft's Webdings font, with character code 0x85. Running Start > Run > charmap, then selecting Webdings from the Font drop list, opens this window:

If I click that alien character in the leftmost column, the message Character Code : 0x85 is shown at the bottom of the window.

I can even copy that character from the Character Map and paste it into Microsoft Wordpad:

The WebDings symbols were included in Unicode Release 7: Pictographic symbols (including many emoji), geometric symbols, arrows, and ornaments originating from the Wingdings and Webdings sets. Therefore you would expect the alien symbol to also be in Unicode. However, I don't think the version of Webdings that was used included that alien symbol, since Windows 10 also has a ttf file for Webdings (version 5.01), and it also does not include the alien symbol:

So presumably what originally caught your attention was some text being rendered with an older version of the Webdings font which included that alien symbol.
