Brackets Sprint (34, latest version) displays \u0 (NULL or U+0000) chars between every letter of the document, whereas Notepad++ or Sublime Text 2 do not. EDIT: I wish to stress that this only happens for a series of files.

They can be eliminated 300 at a time with the 'replace' feature by finding /\0/, but this is way too slow.

Please incorporate an efficient way to eliminate NULL chars from the file, or to filter them out on opening the file.

Picture of the error:

(the file is a generated file from the game 'Rome Total War')

@tyblitz It sounds like you're opening a UTF-16 encoded file. Brackets doesn't support encodings other than UTF-8 yet: https://trello.com/c/DShzQztM/731-support-encodings-other-than-utf-8. Please follow the feature on Trello for updates (you can also upvote it!).
