PHP read Hindi text file in unicode format

I am using this code for reading a file which contains Hindi alphabets.

<?php
$arrbyline=file('E:\HindiFile.txt');
foreach($arrbyline as $lines)
{
   echo $lines . "<BR>";
}

HindiFile.txt:

नमस्कार सज्जनों

But I am getting this:

ÿþ( . 8 M > 0 8 M ( K

Here, I am getting unknown characters. How can I get my Hindi chars?

first of all you should save your file in utf-8. then read your file like this:

if (file_exists($SourceDirectoryFile))
{
    $NameBook  = "HindiFile.txt";

    $contents = file_get_contents($NameBook);

    // browser should display UTF-8 characters
    header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
    echo $contents . '<hr/>';
}
