this can happen when you edit a with DOS line endings, i.e., carriage
return plus line feed, the 'fileformats' does not contain DOS, but only
UNIX or MAC, and if the 'isprint' option contains 13 (the numeric code
for carriage return) or 10 (the one for line feed) or a range including
13 or 10.

In this case Vim wants to show you that there is an additional carriage
return or line feed. Normally they would be displayed as ^M or ^J, but
because the corresponding numeric value is included in 'isprint', Vim
tries to show a glyph from the current font. Most fonts don't have a
glyph for control characters, so a substitue is chosen -- which, e.g.,
on Windows happens to be a rectangle.
