It seems that the embedded codes only occur natively and hidden in Notes fields, which are Rich Text Format. The codes are visible when they are shown in lists where all fields are shown in a plain text format So a decision was made to show the markup when showing a rich text field within a text field, a possible alternative would have been to suppress the codes but then it would be impossible to detect which text is bold, italic etc. Despite the negative effect on appearance I think this is the right decision since it makes direct editing of an RTF field possible while displayed in a plain text field. For example in the Name list it is possible to directly edit notes fields and although there is no collection of formatting buttons you can apply formatting using keyboard shortcuts which then put visible formatting codes in as text markup.
