What is is the strange numbers across the bottom of a check and why do they look funny?
The strange numbers at the bottom of a check are known as the routing number and account number. The routing number identifies the financial institution where the check is drawn from, while the account number identifies the specific account. They may appear different because they are encoded with special characters that facilitate processing by banking systems.

What is the row of numbers across the bottom of check why are they strange looking numbers?
There are three groups of numbers on the bottom of checks. The first group is nine numbers; it is your bank's routing number. The next set of numbers is either your checking account number or your check number. The longer group is your account number and the shorter set of numbers is your check number. Why they are strange looking depends on what is meant by strange looking. There are some symbols which make them look a bit strange. Those are probably used by the bank in some way or may be a way to separate the groups of numbers.

They are located on the bottom of your checks. First set of numbers in the bottom left are your "routing number" to your bank. The second set of numbers is the checking account number. The third set of numbers is the actual check number (should match the number in the top right corner.)
