What sould I do to solve this?
Thanks

Hard to see anything in your image. The Finale file (even empty) would be more useful.
A shot in the dark : check the font used in that category, and if needed, reapply the correct default font of the category to all the expressions.

In this image, I can see that the same sequence of numbers was added, preceding the actual expression text. But even that text seems corrupted (there are many slashes between the letters).
In the specific category where the problem appears, have you checked which font is being used and if correct, reapplied it to all the expressions ?
Maybe if we could examine the file...

An idea : in the Edit menu, try "Text Search and Replace", select the expressions button and replace ,8369) by a blank, the inverted slash by a blank.

Is this happening in just that one file, or in every file you move from 2012 to 26?

As Michel wrote, the best way to get an answer is to post a file that has the problem.

The "Search Text and Replace" works in this file. Also replace ä with 8.
There are a few corrupted expressions left, but most of them will be fixed.

Some interesting stuff here. I went to 2012 (the version that created this file) and found some font issues with the Handwritten Lead Sheet template there as well. The 2016 template of the same name uses the Finale Copyist Text Font instead of the Broadway Copyist Text Font.
