[RPGM VX ACE] Buff/Debuff Icon Text Changed

Hey all, I've got a long list of scripts going on and somehow my debuff/buff icons got changed along the way. I'm suspecting that it's not an icon at all, but rather bold and colored text, since the icon showing isn't an icon in my system. Here's a screenshot of the issue:

As you can see, the Defense debuff has a rectangle and '|' appended to it. Don't worry about the key icon, I've found the cause/cure of that. Does anybody know how I can fix the text on this?

Take your time in getting back to me, I'll be scrolling the forums to try and give answers instead of spamming questions (my current modus operandi).

Are you using any of Yanfly's scripts?

EDIT

If you are using Yanfly's Ace Battle Engine, there is a problem there which can cause rogue symbols to appear.

There is a bug fix on that site which reads:

Go to line 312 and 313 and look for these:
:add_buff   => “%s{“,      # Appears when a positive buff is applied.
:add_debuff => “%s|”,      # Appears when a negative buff is applied.
Just retype %s but don’t add { or |. There’s an invisible letter between %s{ that you can’t see unless you can see Japanese text.

If that is not your problem, then people will need to know what scripts you are using.

That was exactly it, thank you! I never would have found that haha.
