WebdriverIO - characters being stripped out of string - selenium

Question

This may be a long shot but I'm seeing the weirdest thing. I'm using the setValue and addValue functions from WebdriverIO and whenever my string contains the number 3, it is being stripped out and not entered into the input boxes. I am manually able to type 3 into these inputs so I have no idea what is going on. 3 is the only character I've seen this happen with.
Any ideas?
Update: This is only occurring in Chrome
Update 2: Sorry for the lack of details. Here is additional info. I'm using wdio test runner. This issue does not occur in Safari or Firefox, only in chrome.
browser.setValue(usernameInput, "t3st") will input "tst" into the usernameInput element. As well
browser.addValue(usernameInput, "t3st"). Any string containing a 3 will be inputted to any element, but all 3's will be missing from the string.

Well, I had a look, but didn't manage to reproduce it. I tried both of the bellow examples using different variants of chromedriver, or wdio-selenium-standalone-service. All worked just fine.
My guess is that:
maybe that input you're trying to fill in has some JavaScript logic behind (form-validation) which might be truncating digits;
or, maybe you have some old software (outdated packages) from your package.json dependencies which you previously installed globally (npm install -g <packageName>) and forgot about;
WebdriverIO (v4.8.0):

As next-steps in the debugging process I would:
try to replicate the project with the same dependencies in a different folder/repo and see if it works;
for the above approach I would start with the latest versions of the packages you're using (e.g.: WebdriverIO wasn't up to date);
try to use .execute("$('<selector>').val('t3st t3st test12345');") and see if using JavaScript/JQuery would yield different results (if so, it would narrow down the problem: not form-validation, but probably chromedriver).
Let me know how it went, or if it helped. Cheers!
