Nostr Web Client

after a long troubleshooting, I finally understands what went wrong

This is how I created the pwd.txt file

echo "abcde" > pwd.txt

and by doing so, it generated a UTF-16 encoded file, which has the annoying habit of having invisible characters added to it at the beginning and in between the characters as well ...

Windows stuffs

I realized all this because of the use of 'echo' in the Windows terminal

once I used Perl to write the pwd.txt file, everything went fine ... no surprise, no added extra characters

the file generated by the echo command had a BOM invisible character at the start, FF FE and 00 every second character because UTF-16 requires two code units to represent a single character.
