The black squares might just be font issues. As Yukihiro mentions,
check your 'guifont' setting and try a different font, or check your
encoding.

If it's not even able to find the file and open it correctly, another
possibility would be to use tab-expansion to let Vim populate the
filename with what it thinks the filename should be:

:e testc

and then hit <tab> once (or more, if you have multiple "testc*.txt"
files) to let Vim populate the filename with what it interprets.
