after doing cat file | tr -d '\000' > new_file 
diff file new_file

diff shows nothing and the md5sums are the same.

reason there are so many non ascii characters
There are lots of information things like ALT Characters 
http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/altchrc-a.html <<< been in the same file 
for years now >>> 

lots of newer console output are using things like  "●" docker, systemd, pip 
etc 

It also appear some chars have corrupted to some extent £ has turned into "£" 
as an example.

Cheers
Daz
