Notepad Easter Egg: Bush Bug!


This is really cool…never thought Notepad has this nut! But how Bush get involved? Read on…

  1. Open an empty notepad file
  2. Type “Bush hid the facts” (without the quotes)
  3. Save it as whatever you want.
  4. Close it, and re-open it.

You will get this:  ç??桳栠æ?©ç æ?¨æ? æ¡ç´

Actually, this bug has something to with a string of 4-3-3-5 long strings (e.g. abcd efg hij klmno) will also do the same trick.

This is due to a limitation in Windows. Text files containing Unicode UTF-16-encoded Unicode are supposed to start with a “Byte-Order Mark” (BOM), which is a two-byte flag that tells a reader how the following UTF-16 data is encoded.

Try this:

  • Gore ate the crows
  • this got hot stuff
