As tripleee already mentioned it is a problem with the different encoding in windows and linux. You could also encounter problems with special chars like "äöüß"

You can use the linux tool "recode".
Example: change encoding from ibmpc (DOS with cr-lf to latin)

recode ibmpc..lat1 test.sh

See all supported charsets:

recode --list
