Doesn't seem to be, just shows up on the screen. I
submitted a bugzilla just for the heck of it (but
it does seem really low priority :-).
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2144563
I always turn off "rhgb" and "quiet" when I install a RedHat system,
and
can't recall ever seeing anything but plain text, although many of my
systems run "headless" unless troubleshooting is required. I suspect
either a message that use non-ASCII text or some stray control characters
that change the character set.
It is premature to say this is low priority until we know more. I assume
there
is some effort to support boot messages in languages other than English. It
might
be useful to see if the "random" characters occur with all non-essential
devices
removed.
