What happened?
This happens in Excel 365, but may happen elsewhere. When a character from beyond the ASCII gamut (>0x7F) is used in a string, the whole of the text is displaced upwards by a few pixels. Rudimentary measurements on this 1920 x 1080 screen scaled to 125% suggest that the displacement is 29% of the font's x-height using 36pt type.
I have not done any detailed experimentation, but the effect is noticeable at all font sizes. The workaround I've had to resort to is to use at least one non-breaking space (0xA0) before, within or after a string to ensure that text - e.g. in column headings - is aligned. This is illustrated by the middle cell in the screenshot.
