A bit of work has gone into keeping double-byte characters from messing
up Org tables, but my guess is what you've got there is just an odd-out
glyph. It looks like the, erm, carrots (I'm not a mathematician) are
getting borrowed from a different font and substituted into your
fixed-width font where they don't quite belong.

[five minutes later]

I just went and did my homework and LOGICAL OR and LOGICAL AND are
in fact single-byte characters. If they look funny, it's just because
few fixed-width fonts come with all the necessaries. I don't think
there's much way around that...
