Maybe you are using the wrong encoding to store the text to your file. You
may want to post the full file-access related code.

Open your file with encoding system.text.ASCII.

Why would you recommend to use the ASCII encoding? It's very uncommon on
Windows system. Typically Windows-ANSI or UTF-8 are used.
