This is not garbage by any measure.  Please compare with what the OP
reported.

In any case, the original report was for Thursday, not Friday.  the
former should AFAIU display 四.  But neither is nowhere close to the
sequence the OP reported, not even if I break the correct character
into individual bytes, so some other factor is at work here.

What, if anything, is wrong with the OP's configuration is exactly the
issue here.  There's no question that current-time and
format-time-string work in general.
