I'm not sure if it is a good idea to filter out characters based on a single use case. What is a problematic character to you, might be very relevant to others.
The todo.txt rules state that in order to parse a context for instance it must be prepend by a space and the @ sign. So I'm afraid it's probably your duty to get those characters out of the file.
Have you tried using this file in other todo.txt apps? I'm curious if those are capable of filtering this character.

I now realised, the appearance of the symbol doesn't have anything to do with inserting text from other programs. It's actually inserted by sleek itself, whenever the task is expanded with
and in this expanded view the ENTER key is is used to create newlines.
For every ENTER one square symbol is inserted. They then become visible when saving or going back to non-expanded viewmode.
This then causes the failed parsing of tags:
This is 100% in sleek, no text inserted from anywhere, just typed.

You're right these characters are added by sleek. It's actually how the text area feature has been requested a while ago. sleek needs to have some information in the text file line in order to restore the lines in the text area.
Without these characters you would create a multi line todo and the next time you open it, the todo would be back to single line again. That invisible character tells sleek where it needs to break the line in the text area.
I wouldn't know how to solve this without removing the feature :/ If you have an idea, let me know.

With the new implementation this method has not changed. We still need a delimiter saved in the line in order to restore the line breaks in the multi line text field.
However a couple of things have been implemented differently. Feel free to just try it out. Maybe it resolves the issue for you: https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/releases/tag/v2.0.0-dev17
