This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text. You can try to use the built-in inspector to check which font is used.

You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for text that is selected (right-click: "Show fonts in selection").

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
