Your relay is fine -- atlas is right.

See also

which leads to

I don't know who runs torstatus.info, but it looks like it's screwing
things up. The contactinfo it's listing for you seems to belong to
the "waldfrosch" relay:
https://exonerator.torproject.org/serverdesc?desc-id=226dfd574c920b850f67786645c4d800fd754892

Maybe the funny characters are confusing the old Torstatus program?

The fact that the old Torstatus program is unmaintained is a big reason
why tools like Atlas and Globe exist now.

(Thanks for running a relay.)
