The issue here is that you submitted a plain text file that apparently only contained two characters. When I opened it in NotePad (being the default Windows application for opening text files) that was all that could be seen. So, it's a bit rich of you to complaining that I didn't open the file in the 'right' application.

As for the character itself, it's a Zero-width No-break Space. You could see that quite easily by selecting it in Word and choosing Insert>Symbol>More Symbols.
