I need more information about this. The visual editor doesn't technically have a "Preview". Can you tell me exactly what you did, in as much detail as you can remember?

The "two incorrect symbols" weren't actually "in front of" the table (according to the wikitext code); they were formatting codes inside the table – only, the table format was broken, so they were displaying in the first available non-table place on the page (which is where you, and every reader of that page, saw them).

Broken tables can be complicated to figure out and fix. If you ever encounter another one, at the English Wikipedia, you can ask for help at the w:en:Wikipedia:Help desk.
