I have '%' symbols showing up on slopes even though there's nothing on them. I certainly haven't prepared any meals yet as it's still spring of the first year and I'm working on getting my farms ready. Here's a screenshot, though it doesn't look like much:

And I've uploaded the savefile here.

That is also the symbol of a half-mined wall. I think.

When a wall is being mined, it's color will change to brown and light brown, and only the symbol will remain. Thus some odd things could appear.

Darn you, olivine!

Those are all on ramps, is the thing. They're brown because I'm in the middle of removing them. I guess there could be something causing the ramp to revert to its stone type for display?

[Duke 2.0]

Perhaps. Although that is rather erratic ramp placement. I just thought they were unmined walls.

I don't think ramps are supposed to show the symbol of the stone they are made of... Unless a dwarf stopped their mining task mid-mine. Even then, I don't know if this is supposed to happen or not.

I was using ramps to dig out two floors simultaneously, for that whole vaulted-ceiling shtick. Whenever you do that, you get ramps in weird places.

I have noticed many times now that when I {d} designate upramps for removal, I often get a % symbol over the ramp with the brown shade for the designation.  I assume you are using a different graphical tileset (as am I).  Perhaps that is the reason.  I have no problem with the symbol showing up, as its only there for a brief moment before my miners do their job and remove it.

EDIT:
Just looked at your screenshot again.  I guess your not using a different tileset, but been so long since I used the original, cant remember for sure besides the faces.

Edit 2:  OK, seems like everytime I type the word 'symbol', my brain tells my fingers to type symblow.  sorry.  fixing that now. (hits head with heavy object)

Okay, I've downloaded it and I'll take a look at some point.

Yeah, (natural?) ramps that are designated for removal are replaced with (or flash? pretty sure they flash) the symbol for the material that they are made out of (so the diagonal lines for sand, the £ for ores, etc.). The brown color is because of the designation. I had assumed that this was 'working as intended', so I never bothered reporting it.
