2 years ago This behaviour is caused by a script on that website.
setItem, in https://www.scribblehub.com/wp-content/themes/writeit-child/js/jsmenu-hl.js?ver=1.0.2
It just loves mangling the text by adding \ufeff (character info) where you're selecting.
So this might be the extension unexpectedly having handling the mangled time, followed by the website changing the DOM.
(I'm busy with another project at the minute, but this seems like a fun thing to try and mitigate.)

On some site there something odd with text selection when the extension is active.
For example takes the AlekAundra answer from Jun 15, 2022.
The second sentence is "Next chapter will be up Saturday 3PM PST / 6PM EST." if the extension is enabled the two times are converted to 🕐 01:00 (except the clock is an svg instead of the unicode char)
If you select it with the mouse nothing special occur.
Now click at least one time on the first time and select the text again. It's now converted to the static text
Next chapter will be up Saturday 🕐01:00 / 01:00.Trying to narrow down the requirement for this behaviour I first found out that the extension MUST be UN-paused to this happen.
However playing more with (un)pause the extension, click to (un)convert the time and (un)select the text I found something event strange : the extension fool/prank me:
Note : I use Firefox x64 101.0.1 on Windows 10.
