Can't open existing project, Error: '', hexadecimal value 0x1F, is an invalid character

[KMHuenermann]

Hey,
when trying to open my project in MoBi I get the error report copied below. Seems like I might have used some kind of special charackter MoBi can't handle. Is it possible to change it somehow if I can't open the project? Or is something else causing the problem?
I already tried opening the project on a different device. Other projects don't have a problem loading.

Application:
MoBi® 12.0.380

'�', hexadecimal value 0x1F, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 287961.

It seems like it might be corrupt. If you can share the project, I can try to open it and fix it.

Thank you for your offer. Unfortunately I can't share it.
