Recovered files are jibberish

Recommended Posts

When I try to recover text files they only contain jibberish when I open them. 

I did recover to a thumb drive instead of the main drive of my computer where I originally created them

Not sure if it matters but these files were deleted several weeks ago without me realizing it.

I've attached an screenshot image of what the file looks like when I open it. 

Any help greatly appreciated. Basically if I don't get these recovered I will lose about $400

These files are .txt that I created with Notepad

Payed version, having this problem aswell. File i've used and added to during 15+ years ruined, used Recuva to recover it (only found a version dating back to 2019 02) recovering it turns out similar text files (yes .txt) and ones with asian coding.
