Hey people !
Okay, I reckon this is really wierd. I made a txt document for some random program I was writing, consisting of only hex values. When the program reads the file, it reads it as expected, but if I open the document manually, it comes up with 900 of these : ㌰
The file is hidden and encrypted if that matters. Why is this happening ?
Cheers for your time.
EDIT : Oh, and i'm on Windows XP Pro.
If you encrypted a file, why does it surprise you that you can't read what Notepad opens?
Use a hex editor.

There are other txt files that are encrypted, and I can read them.
Oh, and they too consist only of hex values I might add.
It's automatically set to trust the user I use.

Perhaps it just so happens that these other encrypted text only contain values within some human readable range, e.g. ASCII. You could use some binary to text encoding to ensure that it is human readable.There are other txt files that are encrypted, and I can read them.
