In line 220 of /src/bin/date/date.c:
/* set the time */
if (nflag || netsettime(tval)) {
logwtmp("|", "date", "");
tv.tv_sec = tval;
tv.tv_usec = 0;
if (settimeofday(&tv, (struct timezone *)NULL))
err(1, "settimeofday (timeval)");
******** logwtmp("{", "date", "");
}
It is clearly a '{'.
This assumes you are using the standard "date" command to set your date.
Check your date command dource code.
