Description
Note that keys written from a spring boot spring session app running on a windows machine have these junk characters where as the keys written from an app running on a linux machine does not have these junk characters. Looks like platform specific encoding is affecting these keys.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported Spring Session application on Windows and Linux, then compare the Redis session keys produced by each environment. Confirm whether the differing prefixes are caused by platform-specific serialization or encoding, and consider the issue complete when equivalent environments produce the same key format.
