grub-emu is displaying garbage text
I have a remote server running Ubuntu 18.04. When I ran apt upgrade today, I got an error message from grub that original boot device is not found, asking me to select the disk for installing boot loader. As per the suggestion on the prompt, I selected all listed devices. But I still got some error messages when installing the boot loader.
I tried to run grub-emu to verify that the bootloader is installed correctly. I am getting the following screen, with lots of garbage text. What is wrong?
I am connected to the remote server via SSH, from a Mac OSX terminal.

I had never heard of grub-emu before.
I installed it on my test server and got the same as you from both remote via ssh and local at the terminal.
I installed it on a test Ubuntu 18.04 desktop and it worked fine (albeit annoying to use), opening an independent window when launched.
Conclusion: It isn't for servers, only desktops with fancy GUI stuff.

That is not correct. I had tested it on a different server running Ubuntu Server 18.04 and it was working correctly.

Interesting. I do not know how it can work on a server, with no GUI. It uses two windows, typing goes in the original windows and the second windows displays the grub menu. I have searched and searched, but haven't gained further insight.
