Your program is seeing a numerical "0" where it expects the numerical
code for an ASCII character. So your program prints "null", which is
the formal ASCII name for a numerical "0".

You may be able to correct the problem by deleting (or backspacing) all
the characters in your signature line and then retyping it. Perhaps a
"0" got in there by accident. Or perhaps you have asked your email
program to add a signature to each post, but you haven't filled in the
signature field where your email program expects an ASCII string to be?

....and then again, have you offended the computer gremlins recently?
They do have feelings, you know --- the same as Hogwart's house elves.
