Nancy - Whenever you see strange characters, expect Unicode.
        That is, your dsmadmc session to query the Activity Log is not
using the same character code page as the platform which is initiating
the timed sessions, so your admin session can't make sense of the name.
Probably a Windows client, but could be other, now that Unicode support
has extended. You might try dsmadmc from such a Unicoded client system.

See if there are accompanying ANR messages indicating the source of the
sessions, and get in touch with the client owner.  If no ANR msgs, you
can employ the AIX iptrace/ipreport command set to relatively easily
see where this traffic is coming from.

how I get rid of it?
