It’s just their name. They’re using the █ character.
Yep, this. There is no bug, this is actually their name.

The character █ (Full Block) is represented by the Unicode codepoint U+2588. It is encoded in the Block Elements block, which belongs to the Basic Multilingual Plane. It was added to Unicode in version 1.1 (June, 1993). It is HTML encoded as █.
There is a separate block character, usually a perfectly square one, that is shown when your system cannot display a unicode character, however this block character is rectangular.
Im screaming right now.
Reminds me of the meme that told people to submit [object Object] to mess with JS devs.
It’s doing it in Firefox on Linux as well. It’s probably they are using special characters in their display name.
