Attempting M-: (I hope I did this right, I pressed Alt + Shift + :, then copied and pasted your command)

No output but it says this on the bottom: 'Trailing garbage following expression'

OK.  Can you send the list of abbreviated weekdays in your locale's language, as you expect them to be displayed?  Please send them as text, not as images.

Also, does this display the data correctly:

  M-: (insert (format-time-string "<%Y-%m-%d %a>" (current-time))) RET

or does it insert the same garbled characters?
