    So I found an weird thing with the codecs I mentioned on the title. When I open an codec with Notepad or Notepad++, it shows weird symbols and numbers and others. What are these weird things doing for this codec? Thanks!

    :)

    My notepad text showing weird symbols and characters

    Hi,
    Please can you help me, I suffered from a virus attack and my computer is no longer behaving properly! Microsoft Office won't open and I had some backups made by Macrium Reflect which look like they are corrupt and the icon of the backup has changed to notepad and when I want to restore, Macrium no longer recongnised them.The main thing is my important notepad text files, which were kept on a separate drive, have changed to some weird charaters as well! Is there anyway I can convert them back to my original text?

    Thank you!

    Notepad showing symbols?

    I tried to open a notepad with lyrics in a different language, and the English on the file is fine, but the text in the other language shows up as a bunch of symbols. How can I fix this?
