Did they use AI to generate that?

My guess is they lost the typesetting in a copy/paste. If you copy superscript or the unusual +/- character into an animation tool that doesn't have the font or doesn't recognize the typesetting it will drop the character or convert it to the nearest ASCII. If you've ever copied and pasted something into an email and had the formatting mangled, that's like what happened here.
