When I used Notepad++ to open ArcSDE connection file(.sde) encoding ANSI, it's just messy code!

Is there any application available to open it ?

Or anyone can give a sde file example encoding utf-8 to me?

    It is a binary file with encryption. You should not edit it, ever. Commented Oct 12, 2017 at 11:41

It's not a text file so changing encoding wouldn't change the thing. If you need to get some data from it you should work with it from ArcGIS environment, open properties tab for this connection and find what you're looking for.
