Jekyll custom variable outputting incorrect value

I'm using Jekyll 4.1.1 and have a custom variable in my _config.yml file in the following format:

brand:
  telephone     : 01444555666

For some reason if my number starts with 01 then when compiled or running jekyll serve I get a completely different value, but if I change the starting value from 01 to for instance 08 and re-compile, then it works...

I'm getting the value of 210951094 outputted to my page with the above, is Jekyll treating the starting characters as some function to generate a random number here?

The leading 0 treats the number as octal, just like in Ruby:

01444555666
#=> 210951094

Turning your telephone number into a string should fix it:

brand:
  telephone: '01444555666'
