tomcat adding "â" to the file path and throwing org.apache.catalina.startup.ClassLoaderFactory validateFile error

Question

I am trying to start tomcat from my MacOs Catalina. For some reason, it is adding a special character at the end of file path and throwing error. Any help finding why it is happening?

Here is the example,

swtata-mac:bin swtata$ sh catalina.sh stop
