It's very hard for anyone to work out the solution to this unless we
know *exactly* what is in the files, not how it's being rendered.

What's the exact bytes stored in the files?  Or more bluntly, what
does this print:

perl -e 'use Devel::Peek; open my $fh, "<:bytes", "filename" or die
$!; undef $/; Dump <$fh>'
