In a terminal, 'less /var/log/auth.log' (as root) ought to always work.
auth.log is outputted by the rsyslog daemon, as you can see in
/etc/syslog.conf -- and in my long experience has always been pure
ASCII.

How very odd. But do try the good old 'less' utility. Even though
there _shouldn't_ be peculiar characters in /var/log/auth.log, if there
really is such content, 'less' won't be overly impaired by same.
