What format is the file - audio , text , video...? Are You sure the file is completely downloaded ? May be you just copied the link and not file itself.

Could be a PDF file.
Do you have a PDF reader?

That is the problem the OP needs help with.

It has copied over as Chinese, Korean and some other characters from an online chat they had.

Nothing will help you read it.

When text is saved in Notepad, you have a choice of encoding.

Notepad's default is antiquated ANSI. I'm not sure that any of the encoding options would have preserved everything.
