Weird special characters in web search and code citations in outputted response

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.58.0

What subscription do you have?

ChatGPT Plus

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.1-codex

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

When I am enabling web search or when codex is yielding code snippet citations by giving the line numbers I see spurious special characters (chevron, bottle and cloud like symbols) since the GPT-5.1-Codex update: those links are not clickable for code snippets and look weird

Here are screenshots of what I am seeing in my terminal

• when codex outputs some code references

• when using web search

When copy pasting directly inside a text editor it displays as: citeturn1search0 but inside VSCode it displays as in the terminal when looking at the session logs:

What steps can reproduce the bug?

It does not happen all the time but 3-4 times under the past 2 days and only since gpt-5.1-codex. You can either:

• Perform a web search
• Ask codex to explain a codebase for example the codex-rs directory

and look at what is outputted in the terminal.

What is the expected behavior?

No special characters and clickable code links
