I can not reproduce it, I think it should be issue with terminal, can you check it in other terminal? or update you neovim?

That's most probably a Neovim issue: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/5990

Neovim tries to be clever and changes the style of your cursor depending on the mode you're in. Not all terminal emulators support that, but those which don't, should simply ignore it.

In your case, the terminal emulator does _not_ ignore it and prints it to the screen (it thinks of it as normal characters).

In the meanwhile you should be able to disable it by putting this in your vimrc:

let $NVIM_TUI_ENABLE_CURSOR_SHAPE = 0

This tells Neovim not to try changing the cursor style.
