I get this sort of thing periodically as part of (what appears to be)
Japanese-language spam:

The vertical bars were presumably intended to line up neatly, forming
a nice little table, but the spaces are too wide, or the horizontal
lines are too short, or both. Confusion over which characters are
double-wide and which are single? Are the fonts not really
fixed-width? Inquiring minds, &c.
