Symbols like "b" and "#" have a bug.
When I try to use a XML file that allows slash chords to have the bass chords on the same line, It looks nice. But once I close the program and reopen the score it has changed to different characters. For example: When I try to type Bb/F, the "F" is a little lowered by default (what I dislike) and I use a custom chord style that makes everything on the same "line" and it looks ok than I save and close the program, but when I open it again it is not Bb/F anymore, but B266d/F ... I gave up trying to fix!
See the attached file where I show how it appears.

Probably there is a syntax error in your custom XML file. if you attach it, someone might be able to help you correct it.
This is my custom XML file that is not working correctly!

OK, I can now confirm this bug, not sure why it hadn't been reproducible for me earlier.
BTW, it looks like that XML file is based a long-obsolete version and is going to cause a number of other formatting problems. When creating custom XML files, better to start from one of the supported XML files - chords_std and chords_jazz.

Well this is what I've made .... I tried here and all the style XML files are not working, they end up like those strange numbers replacing the chords. I used "chords_std" as the start but didn't work and I even loaded the standard "chords_std" file as a "custom" chord but everything becomes like this...

I could use the "Normal" mode but the "slash chords" are not fine! If only musescore standard put slash chords to be aligned.... Or put an option for us to change this!

See my comment in the GitHub issue linked here in this thread - I show you how to fix your XML file by replacing the 0x266d with something else (and then do the same for the sharp).

I'm going to attach the file maybe it's on my score.....
Replacing "0x266d" with "♭" on the XML file didn't work (if this is what I was supposed to have done)

You left off the semicolon. Also, you need to then re-select that file in Format / Style / Chord Symbols.

Finaly solved! Thank you so much Marc! The semicolon that was missing and I searched for the HTML code for "#" too ... Do you think I have to change some other codes on this XML into HTML version?

Probably not, but see if you see any other similar lines with ”0x” and then do the math to convert from hexadecimal to octal (I think).

No, to decimal
