Comment (by darksoul42):

 Chiming in for clarification after sluicebox brought this to me as a
 Japanese reader, this is a problem with the handling of an explicit
 newline in the text -> \n, which gets rendered in the top image as ¥n (yen
 mark, n) because on Japanese environments the yen symbol takes over the
 backslash glyph for this ASCII code.

 For instance, here, where it says "動詞¥n  look   見る¥n"
 The proper output would be : "動詞
 look   見る"

 So it really is merely a scanning issue when dealing with escapable
 characters in a SCI text string.
