What should stand on the ??, (welche buchstaben?)

You are reading a windows disk/mount and this is mount as iso8159(-15) character set
this is wrong for bare gambas.
you need characterset conversion like utf8 to get the correct text
or mount the windows disk as utf8 when posible.

In short, you have a characterset conversion problem.
