vim getting rid of special character ^I

Question

I have installed some dot files in vim. The files that I edit now works fine but some file which I don't own sometimes display special characters as below.

39 struct {^I^I^I^I^I^I^I^I\
40 ^Istruct type *tqe_next;^I/* next element */^I^I^I\
41 ^Istruct type **tqe_prev;^I/* address of previous next element */^I\
42 }

How can I fix this ? Thanks.
