Segmentation fault.
I don't get it, but I still laughed.
In case you're geeky enough to be interested, when programming in C (and also C++) there is very common problem that can occur when strings of human readable characters are not terminated with a null character. When this happens the code will read the string and then continue on reading the rest of the data in memory. If you print out non terminated strings you typically get loads of weird characters at the end. When your program starts accessing the protected memory of other programs then you get a segmentation fault on Unix / Linux systems.
Many, many systems have been hacked into by exploiting this bug and inserting new code into memory that can be executed.
If you try printing out binary characters such as machine code then it comes up as many different types of weird symbols. Luckily my tablet allowed me to type out those symbols because I'm not sure how to get them on a PC with a keyboard.
