Systemd has a feature to shorten lines too long for the display, which is a pretty stupid idea, as you can see here.

The service failing here would be initrd-switch-root.service.

So the weird block character in the "see... for details" line is replacing "nitrd-switch-roo" just to shorten the line? That's what I was trying to figure out.

Yeah, that'd be the Unicode ellipsis character (…) rendered on a system without a Unicode font on the terminal.
