My friend accidentally deleted a notepad text file from his pc...I somehow managed to recover the file using Ease US Data Recovery software....Now the recovered text file is gibberish....So is there a way to turn/convert the gibberish characters into text characters??? How do I change Notepad symbols to readable text??? Please help my dear friends.

It was probably a text file saved in unicode.  You might try opening it with LibreOffice or try recovering any text in it with Microsoft Word's Recover Any  Text function.

it doesnt work.......libreoffice and openoffice shows the same gibberish symbols and word's recover any text function does not do anything.

Did you actually check before recovery, that the file you recover has superb health? It doesn't make sense to recover a broken document.
