How to fix TextMeshPro breaking lines and escaping random characters?

I ran into this weird issue with TextMeshPro UI that causes my text to not be displayed correctly. It seems to only occur when using specific fonts (in my case Coolvetica).
For some reason, TMPro seems to escape certain character sequences that are NOT supposed to be escaped.

So far I found that the sequences "re" and "70" always break lines and not render the text correctly. There are probably more character sequences too. Does anyone have an idea why that is and how to fix it? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
