Tested on latest Chrome Stable #61.0.3163.100, Canary # 63.0.3239.6 on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04 and able to reproduce the issue.

Using the per-revision bisect providing the bisect results,
Good build: 56.0.2895.0 (426105)
Bad build: 56.0.2896.0 (426358)

You are probably looking for a change made after 426106 (known good), but no later than 426107 (first known bad).

CHANGELOG URL:
The script might not always return single CL as suspect as some perf builds might get missing due to failure.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/514cf7c341b132657a60c078896fc1f565611be3

From the CL above, assigning the issue to the owner concerned.

@eae:  Could you please look into the issue, pardon me if it has nothing to do with your changes and if possible please assign it to owner concerned.

Note: Issue is not reproduced on Mac 10.12.6.

Thanks!

The page has two embedded unicode control characters (INFORMATION SEPARATOR ONE at offset 3 and NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGE at offset 18).

There was a spec change last year that mandates that these control points are rendered, this is per design and matching current unicode and w3c standards.
