Please think of the ".mysql_history" file as a file with a binary format, managed by the MariaDB or MySQL application, and with which the users are not expected to work with directly. The fact it appears (at least partly) human-readable, iat s just incidental, thanks to the underlying implementation of the code that manages the history. This is the case since early MariaDB 10.5. There are a lot of posts around the internet with trivial hacks to replace the escape sequences with the actual characters, look around to see what will suit you. But note that that's not the only difference from the actual true history. I'd strongly recommend neither to mess with the binary data the EditLine wrapper stores for the history to work, nor to rely on the false feeling that what you see there is the 1:1 representation of what the history functionality gives you.
