      Hey, I have a problem because I don’t know how I can convert strange characters, white text on a black background to plain UTF characters.
      For example, xBF should be a Polish character ż, xF3 ó, xB6 ś, xE6 ć. How can I change it with Notepad ++. I can’t get Notepad ++ to search for these characters 🤔

        Give it a try to use Encoding->ANSI or Encoding->Convert to ANSI.

            This means that your ANSI code page is different than expected.
            Another way to make this visible is probably to use the 1250 encoding
