Default Dots appearing instead of spaces

I was in the middle of typing something when suddenly whenever I press the
space button a dot appears between the words instead. Also a funny symbol
keeps appearing. It seems to be the symbol for paragraph but I could be
wrong about that.

Any help would be appreciated!
