Junk characters in STDOUT output #10

Using zkrepl to compile code on Chrome on Windows, I see a variable number of invalid characters (appearing as rectangles) show up in the output before the normal output of the compiler. If I scroll down past them, the output is otherwise correct:

I'm not a web expert, but I think the Chrome dev tools are telling me that these are null characters:

This happens for any input, including the initial example zkrepl comes up with. I've seen this in Chrome and Edge on Windows10, but I don't see it on Firefox. I've seen the issue on two different machines with the same OS version, but I don't have any other platforms handy. A friend tried this in Chrome on Linux and Mac and didn't see the issue. Noting that Chrome and Edge share the Chromium rendering engine, I suspect this might be a specific behavior of that engine when running on Windows.
