Windows Notebad and Bush

If you have extra character sets you'll end up with something like this...

?????????

Anyone care to translate?
 
The reason this happens:

1) You are saving to 8-bit Extended ASCII (Look at the Save As / Encoding format)

2) You are reading as 16-bit UNICODE (You guessed it, look at the Save As / Encoding format)

This is why the 18 8-bit characters are being displayed as 9 (obviously not supported by your codepage) 16-bit UNICODE characters.

It's not magic, it's someone pretending to be a hacker by preying on the ignorance of others.

It's being read as:
0x4275
0x7368
0x2068
0x6964
0x2074
0x6865
0x2066
0x6163
0x7473

So much for this 🙁
 
After re-opening the file, I replaced the result with the original text it and saved it. When I opened it again, it read correctly. Nothing strange about strangeness in Microsoft programs. 😛
