Welcome to Android Central! The leading period means the file is intended to be hidden, which also means it's likely a system file. Why are you trying to open it?

Building on what B Diddy said, most file manager apps will give you the option to see hidden files as a settings option inside the file manager app.

After that, if you cannot open the file, it is probably because you do not have an app registered to use that file type.
