That are wide characters, 2 byte per character.

If you are using Windows, I'd use WinSCP to download the file to your PC, and PsPad or Notepad++ to edit it, and then put it back using WinSCP.

Actually it's quite common. Wide characters are used to have a bigger character set, so you can include Chinese and smilies in your text. But in most cases you won't notice wide characters are used, as most editors fully support them, especially on Windows, where wide characters are more common than on Linux. Don't know how it is now, in Windows 7 many of the system text files (.inf and .ini) were wide character. You can see that because the character count in an editor is half of the size in bytes. In Linux in most cases UTF8 is used, a way to encode unicode characters in 8 bytes characters.
