How to read .txt file from email using apps script

I'm currently trying to make a program that pulls emails from a specified sender reads the .txt file attached to that email (contains my work schedule as a text file) and imports it into my calendar. I have almost everything working but always get these diamond-shaped characters each time I try to extract the text from the .txt file. This is the current code I'm using to extract it.

function testMain()
{
  var emails = getEmailsBySender(sendersEmail);
  Logger.log(emails[0].getAttachments()[0].getAllBlobs()[0].getDataAsString());
}

getEmailsBySender(sendersEmail) is the function I wrote that returns the specific email with the text attachment. The response I keep getting looks like this ��1. I also did some research and some people were suggesting adding an offset to getDataAsString() like this getDataAsString('ISO-8859-1'), but that just returned this ÿþ1. Do I need to modify the offset again or am I missing something else?

GmailAttachment is already a blob. Please check the documentation.

emails[0].getAttachments()[0].getDataAsString()

Reference: GmailAttachment.getDataAsString
