What happened to my language?

Hi all,

I save a file from a wxTextCtrl using the SaveFile method. Then I close the
program.
I can view that file in Notepad and it is exactly what I typed in the
wxTextCtrl. Perfect.
Then I re-open the program and load in the file to the wxTextCtrl using the
LoadFile method.

Chinese.

Why? And... how do I stop that?

Thanks,
