If so yes.

It didn't come up with Chinese symbols in Notepad, came up as squares.

Well, I'd have bet money on it being a easter egg, but according to the first google search result I got, it isn't.

Quote:
It's not an Easter egg (even though it seems like a funny one), and as it turns out, Notepad writes the file correctly. It's only when Notepad reads the file back in that it seems to lose its mind.

But we can't even blame Notepad: it's a limitation of Windows itself, specifically the Windows function that Notepad uses to figure out if a text file is Unicode or not.

I just get the square chars too, so I guess it is broken to an extent.

Just because. Laughing I've probably spent more time arsing about trying to get a game to crash, or find hidden stuff in it, than playing games properly I think. Embarassed
