emacs shell interprets ipython characters wrongly

I'm using gnome-terminal, emacs -nw, eshell inside emacs, and ipython.

For some reason the emacs shell is interpreting characters wrongly.

Here's what I see (plese note the last 3 lines):

$ ipython
Python 3.5.2 (default, Jun 28 2016, 08:46:01)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 5.0.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
?         -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help      -> Python's own help system.
object?   -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.

^[[?12l^[[?25hprint("hi")
^[[J^[[?7h^[[?12l^[[?25h^[[?2004lhi

^[[?12l^[[?25h

I believe this must be some encoding problem, but I'm not sure how to diagnose and fix it.

Here's my env output if it helps:

Solution

Thanks to @brian-malehorn, the problem was indeed the control characters sent by ipython.

This could be checked by trying to echo a colored text using echo -e '\033[0;31mhello\033[1;0m', which in my case printed a colored text. If the problem was the colored text, it could be fixed by:

ipython --colors=NoColor

My problem however, was not the above, therefore it must have been control characters sent by ipython to the shell. This can be disabled using:

ipython --simple-prompt
