Zeppelin v0.8 incorrectly displays a '+' character in the result when querying a stored string in Hive DB

While querying a table for phone numbers in Zeppelin v0.8 we see that the output displayed on hive interpreter is slightly different from the original content, when a plus  sign is concatenated in the query. The resultant displays two plus  signs leading to incorrect data output in CSV files.

If the plus  sign is not concatenated then the results displayed is just the phone numbers and nothing else.

Tried the same query in Zeppelin v0.7.3 but it displays results accurately. I am attaching the screenshots for Zeppelin v0.7.3 and v0.8 for reference, Can someone help with any configuration changes which would help us resolve this issue?
