Terminals often do not react well to having random binary data thrown at them. This is not a bash issue but one of understanding your terminal. Terminals interpret escape sequences and act upon them to select alternate character sets and things like that. It looks to me like you have turned on an alternate character set. Try resetting the terminal to restore it to normal use. In xterm this can be done on the fly with control-middlebutton "Do Full Reset". Other terminals probably have something similar. Or you might try typing in blind "reset" and if available it should also reset the terminal.
