Uploaded file question mark icons then turn into chinese characters

Question

So I'm trying to upload an exported Outlook email into my WordPress website through a plugin. Here's the start of the file in question: http://prntscr.com/jxil42

When I echo the file this is the result I get. http://prntscr.com/jximu4 Firstly I don't get where the "?" icons come from, then, when I move the uploaded file and open it, this is the result: http://prntscr.com/jxinh9

I've no idea what's causing this, any help..?
