Hello Georges,

There have been previous reports of people who copied and pasted utf-8
text into a terminal, with the result that what was pasted is different
than if they had directly typed the string (similar glyphs, but different
characters).  Perhaps:

$ echo date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S | od -tx1z

will give some insight into why you got the error message?
