Which function of PSPad caused this error?
It looks like an error with the codepage used for saving and/or opening the
file. Make sure to save a newly created text with an appropriate encoding and to
open it with the same one later. (the text you mention might have been opened
with a wrong encoding, probably repeatedly(?), but it's hard to guess).

I've tried playing with the encoding settings (for a newly created txt) but to
no avail, none of what I try seems to make any difference. Always the same
characters are displayed, and always the same changes occur.

The function is in the Edit menu>special conversions>remove diacritics (or the
like, I use the French version -- I also have French Windows, if that matters).

if the original text was saved as iso-8859-1,
opened later as iso-8859-2, it shows:
