I tried to ctl V the pic and it was not posted.

See the comment of the code? It is like that.

int ServerTimeOffset=0;// Ñìåùåíèå âðåìåíè ñåðâåðà îòíîñèòåëüíî ëîêàëüíîãî âðåìåíè êîìïüþòåðà

That is because the original code comment was written in a language that does not use standard ASCII character set, but instead in a specific ANSI code-page for a different alphabet like Cyrillic used for Russian text.

Only in more modern publications using UTF-8 or UTF-16 file formats, can the source files hold the original character sets of all languages.

Which ever the case, the comments are in a different language than that of English.
