jayesh30202 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycat19 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeMasteR Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Did you actually check before recovery, that the file you recover has superb health? It doesn't make sense to recover a broken document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
