Mojibake Repair & Garbled Text Recovery

Paste garbled text from TXT files, webpages, logs, or API responses to recover readable candidates and inspect likely encoding mismatch paths.

Paste garbled text and the page will try to infer common encoding mismatch paths, then show readable recovery candidates with an analysis report.

Useful for TXT files, copied webpage text, scraped content, logs, and API responses with broken characters when you want to diagnose the problem before fixing it elsewhere.

Input suspicious garbled text. The tool will try to recover readable text and report possible encoding paths, for example latin1 -> utf-8.

FAQ

    

      
      

        Can encoding repair recover the original text perfectly every time?
        
Not always. It is best used as a recovery and diagnosis aid, and the outcome still depends on the actual encoding path.

      

      
      

        Can this repair garbled text from a TXT file?
        
Often it can help. Paste the suspicious text here first, then review the most readable candidate and the likely encoding path.

      

      
      

        Can it recover mojibake copied from a webpage?
        
Yes, it is useful for common webpage copy issues such as 你好 or 测试, especially when the issue comes from charset mismatch.

      

      
      

        Can it handle \u4f60 or %E4%BD%A0 style text?
        
Yes. Those are usually Unicode escapes or URL encoding rather than classic mojibake, so the page tries deterministic decoding first.

      

      
      

        Can text full of � be recovered?
        
Usually not reliably. The replacement character means some original bytes were already lost, so the page can only show low-confidence guesses.

      

      
      

        Why might there be multiple possible recovery results?
        
Because similar mojibake can come from different encoding chains, so the page tries to surface the most plausible options first.

      

      
      

        What is the difference between repair and generator?
        
Repair tries to turn garbled text back into readable content. The generator intentionally creates garbled text for tests and reproductions.
