Your browser is just setting the title in an url-encoded way.

▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ █
(from utf8) gives
%E2%96%81%20%20%20%20%20%E2%96%82%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%E2%96%83%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%E2%96%84%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%E2%96%85%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%E2%96%86%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%E2%96%87%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%E2%96%88
