Serial Monitor shows weird symbols

hey guys!
I've been trying to build my own MIDI controller for the past days. After binging through many tutorials I came across a helpful one and followed it step by step. Unfortunately my serial monitor is printing weird symbols lately. I tried writing everything again from scratch and copying the code from the tutorial website, both did not help.

(I hope you can follow the code, although its in german)

int controlChange = 176; // MIDI Kanal 1
 int controllerNummer = 21;
 int controllerWert = 0;
 int controllerWertAlt = 0;
 int potiWert = 0;

void setup() {
 Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {

 potiWert = analogRead(A0);
 controllerWert = map(potiWert,0,1023,0,127);

 if (controllerWert != controllerWertAlt) {
  Serial.write(controlChange);
  Serial.write(controllerNummer);
  Serial.write(controllerWert);
 }

 controllerWertAlt = controllerWert;
}

a screenshot of my serial monitor is attached

why are you using write() instead of print()/println()?

check the speed rate for the serial monitor matches the rate you are sending at
