If you look at the ASCII values, you will find that the least
significant bit (bit 0) of the corrupted character is set when it
should not be. This is a bit-0 error, and usually indicates a problem
with your RAM.
You will need to find a memory tester to find out if you have bad RAM.
If you don't have a memory tester, you can switch out the RAM with
known good RAM to see if the problem goes away. If you are not
familiar with these things, you may want to enlist the aid of a
professional.
