Also my template with the "÷" character showed the same behaviour.

I think it's a problem of file encoding. 

+ Is your .emacs utf-8? I mean the file where you store the 
                       "(setq org-capture-templates (quote"
+ is invoicing.org utf-8?

C-x RET f utf-8   # change file encoding
