Strange writing that appears on my phone.

I get Japanese letters that appear - not all the time - sometimes on Spotify or when I google things and I’m not sure how to fix it. I have provided some photos of the recent examples

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

Random BBC, NBC etc appear when texting on iPhone 11 I don't know why these groups of letter appear for no reason. I just want to get rid of them. They are not "words" that I would normally use. I saw that this issue was raised a couple of years ago, but I couldn't find the answer. Can anyone help with this please?

Spotify is not an Apple product. Contact the app developer here. --> App Support
