Apache log file problems 1

[arrigato]

Hey guys,
My apache server was working just fine for about a week and then it suddenly started displaying characters like this in the log file.

??????????????????????????????•?‰???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????‰??????????????•?‰?????????????????????‰???????????•?‰????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I guess the font must have gotten messed up but I have no clue how to fix that.
THanks for your help in advance

arrigato,

Does it continue doing this after restarting Apache?

Thank you for your response
YEs, I ve tried restarting Apache and restarting my PC but to no avail.
Would you have a clue why it might be doing this??
Thanks

arrigato,

This is the point where I ask the specifics about your server.

What version of Apache are you running on what OS?

Actually I just fixed it. THe problem was that when I cleared the log file ( by deleting it and saving it) I was choosing Save AS characters as unicode option ( instead of ANSI). THis is why I was having a problem with it.
Thank you for your help though. I appreciate people like you that are trying to help others.
