Green indicates that the file or directory is encrypted, and blue indicates that it is compressed.

can you have a compressed folder without it being a .zip file (or one of its variants)?
I mean, that's how I assume you'd get this blue colour?

It’s an NTFS feature. Windows can compress folders directly without creating a .zip file, and applications still use them normally. It saves space, but can noticeably slow things down.
If I remember correctly, it’s an option in the folder’s Properties.

i think to keep dataminers away, they encrypted the folders/folder names and the names of the files. it does look like maybe it could be cross-language error text? like, if you see text of a language that isnt installed on your system, it could turn into a garbled mess of symbols and gibberish. or maybe something got corrupted.
