or even alt+0160.
Alt-0160 = Char 160 = Hex A0 which is a blank space (Not to be confused with spacebar which is 32 AKA Hex 20)

Yes, it's the Char 160... That's the character that MsgPlus! uses to interpretate custom status's.. Follwed by a { and then the status and then }...
I can't really understand why it would show as that char on your computer, since that char should be a blank space as ShawnZ mention... What languages of Windows/Messenger/Plus! are you using?... I have a suspition that this might be the problem(If you don't use english, or similar, i'm thinking about some eastern or asian version or something)?.. Have you noticed this bug on older versions of Messenger? Plus!?... Etc?...
Might be the skin?... Can you attach more details?... Do you see the same character if your contacts use custom status?...

RE: Personalised Status: Weird character
It is the effect of bad design in the font you are using. Change the font in Display Properties.
I think that Messenger Plus! has the capability to change the font used by Messenger from that defined by system to a font of your choice, but this can only be set directly in thr system registry (or MsgPlus! Tweak).
However, changing the offending system font will also fix compatibility problems that it causes in other programs, but that you haven't noticed yet.
Alternatively, you caould use a modified version of the same font, with Char 160 edited to be truly invisible.
