I did a copy-paste from a PDF, the text that should have been pasted is:

(\<(/?[^\>]+)\>)

But, instead, I get some VERY strange characters. Demonstrated in the following screenshot:

Weird 2

The screenshot was taken from TextEdit, zoomed in a lot.

Does anyone have any idea as to what they are?

They are characters from the private use part of Unicode.

hence the "space alien"
