‰ 

It's a percent sign with an extra 'o' at the bottom. It means 'per thousand', rather than 'per hundred'.

5% of 400 is 20, therefore, 5‰ of 400 is 2.

ÿ 

It's the letter Y, with two dots on top. I imagine that ÿ is pronounced differently from y, but if so, I don't know what the difference actually is.

Person 1: "Look, that ÿ has two dots on it!"
Person 2: "Must be a misprint."
