When I open a document in textpad, some extra null character is appended between every character.

Like my document is having following text बॉम्बे testing for webmail.

When I am opening in text it is coming as I....M....I t.e.s.t.i.n.g. f.o.r. w.e.b.m.a.i.l.

Can Anybody help me on this ?

This file is in UTF-16 or UCS-2 format. When opening it, you must specify in which encoding you want to open it. Your text editor does not recognize this encoding automatically.

If your text editor does not allow for setting encoding on opening file, try using Notepad++ or Textpad.

  • In Notepad++, look at the menu `Encoding` and play around changing the encoding and if you like, converting the file into other encodings. – Lorenz Meyer Nov 19 '13 at 12:46
