When I do a zhpl I get the following -

You have an illegal byte sequence in your `.zsh_history`. This normally means invalid UTF-8. The GNU version of `sed` doesn't error like this. What version of `sed` are you using? Try the following: `LC_CTYPE=C zhpl`.

I am using macOS Ventura and its sed version is 13.2.1 , I did look at my zsh_history I don't see any weird references

I tried the LC_CTYPE=C zhpl

slightly different error but same result

sed: 1: ":a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ WSv3ban ...": unused label 'a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ WSv3ban9mldLqK9ISxJZLieBB30rizUF /g'

@peterbladen try this

Method 1: Use gnused

brew install gnu-sed
brew install gawk 

# then replace them with the built in version inside mac os by specifying in this in your bashrc, zshrc (basically your shell init configuration file)
# # gnu sed to replace macos sed
PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"]
# # gnu awk to replace macos awk
PATH="/usr/local/opt/gawk/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

# later, check if sed is from gnu version by 

which sed 

# or 
sed --version

# it should show you that sed is not /usr/bin/sed but /usr/local/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnubin/sed
# and the version argument will succeed (on mac os version, it will fail saying there is no such option)

After this step, you could run your command as expected

Method 2:
Filter and remove non utf8 characters from history

iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 -c ~/.zsh_history
