Strange characters in git show command

I'm looking for the answer for strange character in git show like in the screen:

git show command

I have the same issue in git diff.

my .gitconfig file:

[user]
    name = user
    email = [email protected]
[difftool "sourcetree"]
    cmd = '' \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"
[mergetool "sourcetree"]
    cmd = "'' "
    trustExitCode = true
[credential "https://...."]
    provider = generic
[core]
    editor = code --wait
[diff]
    tool = vscode
[difftool "vscode"]
    cmd = "code --wait --diff $LOCAL $REMOTE"

Edited: I found the answer here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/36692549/12733938 but what strange it works for almost all files. Some still have same strange letter but for now is ok.

The file you had committed in git is not UTF-8 encoded. It looks like UTF-16 LE BOM encoding which is typically in windows. So you have to change the encoding to UTF-8 to fix your "strange character" problem.
