I suppose they are utf8 characters used, for example, in asian alphabets and so it displays them as a sequence of bytes.

The following script should be able to make the lua script more readable:

*edit*
I confirm, it works. The resulted strings are in chinese

I have also updated it to version 0.2 to work seriously on any string escape (you don't need to reuse it because the output is the same of the previous version for that decompiled CN.lua).
I hope it will be useful not only for this specific case but also in other situations... who knows.
