How to change display of saved documents in Notepad to English Language

I cannot understand what  is displayed on a saved document from Notepad
Hi Anne,
I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

Might be a font issue. Have you installed the respective font?

Does it happen with all of the files or a single file?

Hi AnneMossman
Greetings! I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

Looks like you have got jumbled characters. Default open mode of Notepad is ANSI which you need to change.

Start Notepad > File > Open > Select your file > Down below, you have encoding. Select another encoding and open the file. You will need to do this for all other encodings and see which displays it correctly.

Please report back me the results so that I can advise further steps if your problem is not solved.
Sincerely yours,
Vijay A. Verma @ https://excelbianalytics.com
