It does have those 3 symbols, the heart, the smiley, and the praying
hands.  Aren't there some non-alphanumeric characters that were in the
original txt font.  At any rate, it's called a text file and notepad++
displays them in color, and when Libreoffice office printed what was
called a txt file and pringed almost half of the it, it printed each of
those sympbols in black outline.  (I have color turned off because red
is clogged, and I can't unclog it.)
