j2kun means the stuff that shows up from TFA when using git diff:

  diff --git a/octocat.txt b/octocat.txt

phaker is correct, that's just an escape sequence that the JS terminal didn't handle (or handled incorrectly). Using --no-color you get:

    diff --git a/octocat.txt b/octocat.txt
    index 7d8d808..e725ef6 100644
    --- a/octocat.txt
