When I run this code in University Edition (on a Mac) and view the RTF with LibreOffice, or on our AIX via EG and view it with MS Word, I do not see any extra characters. With which program do you view the RTF? Which SAS version do you have?

the word option of display can resolve this issue to hide this symbol, it has nothing to do with sas code and version

thanks so much. @Kurt_Bremser
