The first Qrious reader asked what was up with this.

They said it looked like a call to emergency services (yes, some countries use this instead of 911).
Well, it isn’t really by design. I used the 0 graphic on the Hacking Inbox 0 post and it has been replicated across all posts in that show in Post Template. I have contacted Spectra for support but they have been unable to replicate the problem. They suggested deactivating all plugins and switching themes to see if the problem was still present. It was a bit painful because of Cloudflare and the Infinite Loops problem but I did do it. Still no luck.
So I did one better. I had a spare domain that I could ‘quickly’ (it all takes time…) setup with zero plugins apart from Spectra. Guess what? Same problem.
Then I did some further digging.

Turns out the shared hosting server is either missing or has disabled one of its PHP modules. I don’t think this is the culprit but contacted DreamHost about it anyway. DreamHost support has been excellent and I highly recommend them as a hosting provider. Especially for new users.
I’ve given Spectra support admin access to the testing site. Hopefully they’ll find out what the issue is.
