spark plug insulator question

I don't know enough about the subtleties of spark plugs to know if this is a problem.
Plugs are cheap so I'll replace it but was curious about the possible cause and/or problems from having this.
It looks like a small piece of the insulator tip blew off the side and the area around it is a little blackened like there was a side detonation or something.
Hoping any small fragments just went out the exhaust port  Undecided
Anyone seen this or have insight about possible problems?  The bike seems to run fine.  '08 with 10k miles.

take a knife and scrape around, I think you'll find that area is just a coating of residue from the gas burning off.

otherwise the plug looks fine.
