Ah! As Adrien pointed out, "SFr." is the Display Symbol for Swiss Franc. You can change it to something else in Tools>Security Editor. Turn on "show national currencies", find CHF in the list, and double-click it.
The lack of a space is because in the UK it's normal to write £1 rather than £ 1. You might be able to work around that by including a trailing space in the CHF display symbol.
