in whitespace-mode, there's this default value for whitespace-display-mappings :

((space-mark 32 [183] [46])
(space-mark 160 [164] [95])
(space-mark 2208 [2212] [95])
(space-mark 2336 [2340] [95])
(space-mark 3616 [3620] [95])
(space-mark 3872 [3876] [95])
(newline-mark 10 [36 10])
(tab-mark 9 [187 9] [92 9])
)

many of the code points are chars from Thai, Tibetan, Devanagari, and including invalid unicode code points. But they are not whitespaces. (i deciphered them here with glyph display http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/whitespace-mode.html )

anyone know what these are?

It looks like a bug. Probably the file has not been updated since the internal encoding for Emacs was changed from emacs-mule to utf-8-emacs.
