no clue what it means.
its not chinese or japanese or korean.
And one know?3903145 - Definitely not Korean...
Korean letters (they're not called characters) are less complex and easy to write. I'm pretty sure this is Chinese. Japanese characters look a little different since they are modified chinese characters. So, I'm pretty sure this is chinese.

After testing this trick, I opened up the saved file in UltraEdit-32.
UltraEdit showed that said file was entirely intact. So this led me to think that said output was a "feature" of notepad!
I opened the bush.txt file, and then saved it is resave.txt. Then I opened resave.txt in UltraEdit-32 and switched it to the Hex view. The following is the output of the file.
00000000h: FF FE 42 75 73 68 20 68 69 64 20 74 68 65 20 66 ; ÿþBush hid the f
00000010h: 61 63 74 73 ; acts
Enough said? If you don't believe me, try it for yourself. Use any hex editor, and follow the below steps.
0) Download and install a Hex editor or viewer. You'll need this. Learn to use it to view hex as well.
1) Open notepad.
2) Put the following into the file: Bush hid the facts
3) Save as bush.txt
4) Close notepad.
5) Open notepad again, and then open the bush.txt file. DO NOT EDIT THE FILE.
6) Save directly as "resave.txt".
7) Close notpad...again.
8) Open up your hex editor, whatever one you choose to use.
9) Use your hex editor to view the bush.txt file first. You'll see that the data is intact.
10) close bush.txt, and open resave.txt. You will find the above output...weird, eh?
- Hehehe...
Hi veqir, I did EXACTLY the same things as you, but before seeing your post.

Yes, it seems that Notepad adds 2 bytes ("FF FE") in the beginning of the file when it open such a file (I red that any file with a string pattern of 4 letters, 3 letters, 3 letters and 5 letters will produce the same result).
It's a "cheat" from Notepad to help him recognize the file encoding. And for some reason, Notepad thinks that any 4-3-3-5 letters string is Unicode, not Ansi as it really is.
I've always said that Microsoft algorithms are based on heuristics and are not proven. They just "pretend" to do what they should do, bu it's not solid.2622590 - Geeze...
For a second I thought Bush was really hiding something and Microsoft was covering his ass.

ZackScott probably knew about this when he did the video, and found a clever combination about Bush and his lies.
I wonder how many other people had some conspiracy theory in their minds from this video post.
I didn't think much had changed with notepad and those other utilities since Windows 3.0.
Good post!3430756 - nope, ur wrong
i put tony in the place of bush and it didnt work, although i had kept the 4-3-3-5 pattern. i then tried 'tony blair' in its place and that worked! this is somethin dodgy and i expect fuzzyghost is workin for the government.

When I wrote 'abcd abc abc abcde' or '1234 123 123 12345' or anything in the form of ' **** *** *** *****' it did the same thing so anybody that S**T his pants better try this... I'am happy that it is not what seemed to be :)Pretty good for demonstration anyway
By phoebus16 1164741148 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3416875 - Not any 4-3-3-5...

I knew it!
qoie was always qbj'ing the qbr gyasb! I have no idea what that means, but since notepad does the same thing to this combination of random letters, its clear that they are hiding something!
if i do that and the numbers are 4 8 15 16 23 42, i would shit on my pants.

By Ipwn477 1203170318 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveDr. Ron Paul would bring the military back from around the world (130 countries) and use them for defense of our own territory, saving hundreds of billions of dollars every year and reducing the number of new enemies around the world. We would trade and communicate with other cultures, not dominate them militarily. He's getting most of the military political contributions.

Bush hid the facts
I downloaded a chinese character set, so it doesn't show up as squares, it shows up as chinese characters...
Here's what it says when i translated it to english using Google Translator:
Hour Morocco by showing video games seized mongoose
what about 9/11?
By jimberlake 1167862989 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAt the bottom, it lists several comments and it says they were removed by me, but they weren't. I don't remove comments. I'm not sure why it says that.
By ZackScott 1167836839 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe reason why this happens is because notepad is a universal tool for reading different coding formats eg. UTF-8 or ASCII. Now this works when a charachter is the same in mutiple formats, so notepad cannot decide which format to re-display the text in so it gives you a square. If you typed a few more words in it wouldn't work due to the ASCII coding being detected. (Also it's fun to do this with the words this app can break) -SS

By ZackScott 1167836655 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove2538968
i have tried alot of combinations, like "saddam hid the facts", "bush hid the facts". and when i translate the chinese symbols on google translate, they all say the same thing, except all the words are jumbled. now i am thinking it is a code. try to sort out the words to create a sentence(maybe there is a secret sentence microsoft implanted into notepad. also in google translator, translate the symbols into japenese to english, it says "projection"
