When I copy output from mtr (My Traceroute) into Visual Studio Code, I see orange boxes appearing around some of the characters. What do these orange boxes represent, and how can I disable or prevent them from showing up in VS Code?

I'm pretty sure the yellow/orange boxes are VS Code's unicode highlight feature (see related settings with IDs starting with editor.unicodeHighlight
). I can't repro on Ubuntu. If you want to figure out what those characters are, inspect the file contents with something that shows you that (Ex. a binary editor).
