visual studio .cpp files display unknown character (a question mark in a dimond shape) on bitbucket

[Ezekiel Yovel]

I tried creating a cpp project in visual studio and pushing it to a bitbucket cloud repository and found out the .cpp files are displayed wrong: between every two characters there is an unknown character represented by a dimond shape with a question mark in it. When displaying the raw option the file looks fine. What can be the cause of this? is it something to do with my local settings or is it an issue with bitbucket?
