Let's see, looks like a 16-bit code being interpretted as 8-bit. I see the text vivaldi/x-tab-entries (presumably a MIME type for the format), etc.
No explanation for the 16/8 thing, unless your viewer doesn't support unicode. The rest is something to talk to the techs about.

It shows up normally on kate and right after pasting it in the editor here. The unknown characters show up in the editor preview or in the editor if I click edit.
Edit: here's the code hand-transcribed:
vivaldi/x-tab-entriesf{"ids":[1623723974],"active":1623723974,"activeIndex":1,"dragSource":"main","sourceWindow":1623723974}Edit 2: The bug report page says to check this forum first, so that's why I posted this here

Hi, if I drag a tab to my KDE desktop it open a new window with a dialogue Move, Copy, Link.
If I release the mouse the window appear.
Do I understand this correctly?

That's probably caused by the same thing. Try dragging it on a text editor to see text being pasted

If I do so I get a new window and the source:

The same behavior doesn't happen while using firefox, and it's annoying that it keeps pasting stuff around so I think this should be fixed

@Lojcs which KDE version? Which Linux?
For me (with Debian 11 KDE Plasma) dragging tab into Kate gives me the source code of the web page shown in tab, dragging on desktop lets KDE as if i want to create a desktop shortcut. All ok for me.

@DoctorG I'm on Plasma 5.27.7 Arch 6.4.12-arch1-1.
I tested a bit more, and the sticky note creation when dragging text to the desktop only seems to happen on wayland. On x I get a copy prompt instead. And dragging to a text editor I get the html instead of the window info like in wayland.
I've also tested firefox and chromium on both x and wayland and neither drags out any text to be pasted when tabs are dragged out. I think this is behavior that should be removed as it doesn't seem to accomplish anything positive (it can't be used to make desktop url shortcuts since it just pastes the html) and it causes annoyance from unexpected copy prompts / sticky notes / pasted text in text editors.
Edit: Or at least, there should be a way to turn it off

Hello. I am interested in seeing this issue resolved. Has there been any decision since the last post?
