special characters in the editor

maybe you know this, i have a .txt file (windows editor) with various content (ascii art and stuff..).
so since i reinstalled my OS all the special characters in this file can't be displayed the way they are.
they all look like a square.
if i past one of them here, they changing into: ┻

changing the font didn't help.

could you tell me what i have to do, to get all the symbols back?
