this issue is on Windows users, there are many articles about this problem but it’s still not solved.
I get this every time Cursor runs a command:

What do i need to change in my settings to not get this error every time?

FWIW, the heart symbol is ASCII 3 , associated with Ctrl-C .
I wrote a similar bug report, not knowing other people have found it. The Ctrl-C issued by Cursor is actually stopping the terminal command at random places, and for me, that makes Cursor generally unusable.

Hi everyone here, the issue is being worked on by Cursor Team.
I think we also have a few duplicate posts on this so the efforts on communicating this properly becomes a bit more tricky.
here are similar cases
