I forgot to mention that the original file contains cyrillic characters.

See attached archive.  It contains 2 files: the first one lists the 
lowercase letters (30 in total) of the Bulgarian alphabet plus a LF 
character and the second one was generated by merging the first one with 
a copy of itself (both opened as UTF8 files) and saving the output as 
UTF8.  A binary editor shows that the output file contains the same 
character duplicated 30 times followed by a LF character.
