The text string: ^[[H^[[2J  annoyingly appears at the beginning of  regions replaced
by the C-u shell-command-on-region command, at the beginning of buffers in hexl-mode,
and sporadically in texinfo files I've formatted.

Any suggestions where such text strings might possibly come from?

Thanks in advance.
