This is really very amazing.

Step 1: Open Notepad
Step 2: Write following line in the notepad.

this app can break

Step 3: Save this file as xxx.txt

Step 4: Close the notepad.

Step 5: Open the file again.

What did you see..??

    This is some weird bug with notepad, which converts the english font to unicode chinese if we write a sentence with 4 words of lengths 4, 3, 3 and 5 respectively. (You see boxes if you don't have chinese unicode font support on your computer)

    Anupam,
    I don’t see the way you generalize the bug is really true! I check the same with many other combination of 4 words sentence (4-3-3-5), but it doesn’t change to unicode chaines font. I suspect that the bug is related with this sentence only.
    Please share, if you have some more example sentences.

    that WINDOW OR NOTEPAD error is actually not a error, while saving a file, u save file in ANSI coding(see coding in box , while saving notepad by name xxx) and when u aopen dat file it opens in unicode, if u open file using ANSI coding u will find same text.

    AND also , on orkut only five recent visitors name r shown , can u tell any way , so that i can know all name who visted my profile
