I am sending the curl syntax like below format to get the authorization code value

D:\>curl -k "https://login.mailchimp.com/oauth2/authorize-post" -H "Host: login.mailchimp.com" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0" -H "Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8" -H "Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5" -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" -H "Referer: https://www.httpsnow.org/?code=fa4b17caac5cdef9d6a88250d320a9b5" -H "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" -H "Origin: https://www.httpsnow.org" -H "Connection: keep-alive" -H "Pragma: no-cache" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" --data "username=mailchims&password=Mailchimp"%"403"

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: login.mailchimp.com

D:\>curl -k "https://login.mailchimp.com/oauth2/authorize-post" -H "Host: login.mailchimp.com" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0" -H "Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8" -H "Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5" -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" -H "Referer: https://www.httpsnow.org/?code=fa4b17caac5cdef9d6a88250d320a9b5" -H "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" -H "Origin: https://www.httpsnow.org" -H "Connection: keep-alive" -H "Pragma: no-cache" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" --data "username=mailchims&password=Mailchimp"%"403"

curl --compressed

--compressed
  (HTTP) Request a compressed response using one of the algorithms libcurl
  supports, and save the uncompressed document. If this option is used and the
  server sends an unsupported encoding, curl will report an error.

It seems that the result is a gzip and hence you see the special characters. You could save it in a file and use the silent settings to disable anything in the screen.

Append the following to the curl command line that you have l: 

-o [filename] --silent

Replace [filename] with the name of the file to save the response to.
