That sequence is not really invalid UTF-8. NUL-SPACE is valid in a strict sense, just unlikely. However, it does look very much like UTF-16BE.
You need to convert this to UTF-8 using uniDecode(). The property unicodeFormattedText will give you UTF-16 in native ordering.
(And unicodeFormattedText will insert extra line-ends. If you don't want that, use unicodeText.)
