Found this on stack Exchange:

<Ctrl-N>, or character 14 - when sent to your terminal - orders to
switch to a special graphics mode, where letters and numbers are
replaced with symbols. <Ctrl-O>, or character 15, restores things back
to normal.

I'm not sure how to get around it other than filter out that character,
but I'd rather not do that.
