Can anyone Identify why elements 5 and 21 (0-indexed) in this array are more than one character?

Attached is the VI. This VI takes an enum (interpreted as a U16) and converts it to a single character. The inputs to this VI are sanitized so they do not have any out-of bounds conditions. This VI is used to uniquely name a log folder according to certain simulation characteristics. The extra characters in elements 5 and 21 are making my log/path VI's blow up (as there are extra newlines etc).

That's how you coded it up.

Do a size to Text on your array element. You actually have the extra Fs and newlines in there.

Change the display of your string array to 'Hex Display' or '\ Code Display' and you will quickly see what is going on.

And some advice with that, make sure the view mode is being displayed (right-click->Visible Items->Display Mode).  It makes life easier since you then know which mode is being used.
