Hi I have a Realme X7 Max 64GB version (RMX3031) running Realme UI 3.0 (which is based off of Android 12).

I've just started seeing some strange symbols on the left top corner of the lock screen -

I can't see anything while unlocked.

The symbols look so strange and nonsensical that I don't believe any legitimate software would do this. I'm worried that my phone is compromised. Does anyone know what this is?
 
Is that where the wifi symbol appears when you unlock?

Try check settings in developer section to not display detail info in wifi?

most likely carrier name has been edited to those symbols and is being displayed, some roms allow this

Actually i got it fixed after restarting.

Not sure what happened but it could have happened when i was crossing state borders on train when this happened. Maybe the carrier change did that. Not sure though.
