I found the following SMS messages in my draft folder of my phone. The content is mostly in some foreign language which i guess is not supported by the phone. Anyone has any clue what this stuff is ?

I have the NetQin AV and mobile guard installed they did not detect anything suspicious in my phone.

Also one thing to notice is that they are 11 digit numbers and i know that chinese mobile phones (cell phone number i mean) have 11 digit numbers

Check the screenshots below



 
Those symbols appear when there are characters used in the context with languages which are not on your device.

try browsing chinese and japanese websites from pc without those languages on your pc, it would have similar results.

Similar thing happens if you try to open different file formats as notepad/txt

Those maybe some settings which your fone takes as text msgs.

^^But these are in draft which means it is out going message and not incoming.
draft is always outgoing or saved messages, maybe someone has played with it & then forgot to delete it.
 
^^ That is impossible because the phone always stays with me and i guess there is no way i can type those boxes myself. :S

I am sure this has happened automatically and not done manually by any person.
 
Simplest and most thorough thing to do is to backup the data on your phone, do a hard reset and then flash it with the latest firmware.
