Thanks for hint of ASCII character.

I accidentally see somewhere using temporary buffer with scratch buffer.
But I don't know the package name. I will notice this to confirm whether
the package caused this problem. I think this code should found in my
previous code searching of my installed Emacs packages. But the
searching result is none. This is weird. Even I did searching three
times with different queries.
