These strange characters are line breaks (\n) and custom ID (0xC2) reffering to HISTORY.TXT

Code: Select all

16.01.08  Added: Store line breaks in descript.ion files in the form \n (\ is stored as \\), mark such comments with custom ID 0xC2 received from inventors of descript.ion
and this post -> https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=146307#p146307

It seems that UltraEdit has a problem with these characters.
I've never received any issuses while edit descript.ion with Notepad++.
