The date display is based on the regional options of your system.
So the system returns the month in non English characters which cause the LCD to display scrap.

Solutions:
1. Use short date: $Time(d mm yyyy)
2. Change regional settings
3. Use Search and replace plug-in to correct the problem using custom characters or by translating each month name.
