Luci lua. The file is not displayed in the editor because it is either binary or uses an unsupported text encoding

When I try to open a lua file in VScode. Gives an error message

The file is not displayed in the editor because it is either binary or uses an unsupported text encoding

There is no error when opening notepad++. Strings mixed with special characters
