Why vim is changing first letter to g after opening a file

When I open a file, eg vim .bashrc, vim opens the file and changes the first letter to g. What I see is the following:

g To the extent possible under law, the author(s) have dedicated all

I change g back to #, but after loading the file, it's again changed. Happens with multiple files.

set nocompatible
set backspace=indent,eol,start
set number
set tabstop=4
syntax on
