I tried exporting my whatsapp conversation via email. This conversation is received to mail box in .txt file attachment. Once the file is downloaded to pc and opend with notepad as usual, the chat messages with our local language (hindi, india) are not displayed. Only square boxes are displayed in notepad. (making the conversation backup useless) What i need to do so that all the messages are displayed in pc ? (Eng msg are displayed correctly)(emoji not displayed is ok for me)

regards

Your system doesn't support Devanagari fonts. If you're using Windows, install the fonts from Microsoft Support.

Update:

  • Download this(press the big blue Download Now button)

  • Open the downloaded file and click onInstall button(requires administration privileges)

  • Open the log, and select encoding as UTF-8

Update#2: For details on how to set the encoding to UTF-8: - click on the File menu - click on save as - on the drop down menu beside the field encoding, select

CHARSET UTF-8
