So I was going through some of my old text files and for some reason some characters were replaced as you can see in pic related.
Is this something I should be worried about or did i just go full retard mode and my files got corrupted or something?
Also weird shit on computer general.

You've probably chosen the wrong character encoding, this word should be Kämpfen with an umlaut. See in your editor's menus what you can chose and try it out.

I do seem to be able to type ä-type letters in the text file, so I doubt that that is it. Thanks though.

The new letters are inserted with the current active encoding, which of course shows it as expected. The old character is in the old encoding, but shown with the active encoding. E.g. the small a umlaut in Windows-1252 has the byte code e4 hex. If the current encoding is any unicode encoding, it may decode it together with the following m to some character in a chinese or japanese code plane.

Oh right, that makes sense. I do remember updating some text related things. I feel like a total retard now.
Thanks for clearing this up.
