You have a bunch of non UTF-8 characters in your file, all are comments auto generated from Design Builder, 342 lines to be exact (I'm on my mac so I ran grep -axv '.*' Indio_e+_Out_V820.idf to find that).
Example line 19992:
! Block 45, Zone 1, External roof - 53∞ Slope 6.15 ft2, Surface Area: 6.15ft2
Here is a link to an UT8 encoded file.
(I used iconv -f MACROMAN -t UTF-8 Indio_e+_Out_V820.idf > Indio_e+_Out_V820_utf8.idf)

On Windows, I usually use Notepad++ to convert a file from an encoding to another (see this)
