Hmm, thinking more about it, I think the problem is those characters are 
ligatures. Probably the article was translated from PDF (maybe from a LaTeX 
source?) and the encoding of ligatures into PDF got encoded somehow in the 
final text, instead of &#64257; being translated to "fi". The ideal would be 
for the people who prepare these documents to make sure not to include these 
entities, but I suppose it would be possible to clean them up after the fact 
too.
