Question About Formatting

Hello! I’m wondering how to copy this to another document?
The problem is that it becomes this:
That corrupts the format and makes it so that the game that I’m modding doesn’t load this UI thing. -

It would appear from the images presented that the file is a binary one. Sure you may be able to see some text as possibly it also includes “normal” characters however the “other” characters such as NUL are Notepad++ trying to interpret the codes and unable to represent the character correctly.
And that is because Notepad++ is a text editor not a binary one.
For getting an exact copy use the windows explorer function to make a copy which will be a clone. However since it appears you are trying to alter settings so your app will be customised to your needs, using Notepad++ to perform edits on this file will very likely end in abject failure.

The Edit > Paste Special submenu has binary copy/paste that might work better.
But as @Terry-R said, editing a binary file with a text editor is asking for trouble.

Okay, that makes sense! Thank you for the information about binary files!
