My friend has an iPhone (the 2G I think ... yeah super old) and when she sends a reply, I get a weird email address for her sender. It shows up as:

Code: 
Q-2 zzqqzzzz122 Q1a2., E Q. Eye Qw

I would guess that she created her gmail account on a desktop computer, and at some point was attempting to play a game in one window while the text she was generating was being entered into her gmail account profile name field.

Edit: removed the person's email address.

Ha! That's possible - I'll ask about that. I guess that is the name fileld, not the email field so that could make sense.
 
it could also be that she has odd characters in her name field as well.
 
Good point, her name is spelled with the dots over the ë. Maybe some weird encoding issue then?

This was the problem. Not sure how it happened, but she either inadvertently set it to something odd or it pulled her name from elsewhere and didn't encode it properly like Jay_oasis said.which is probably more likely
