We are all familiar with the white question mark inside of a black diamond (�) when there is an encoding issue. Does this 'character' have an offical name? Or is it only referred to as the 'white question mark inside of a black diamond'? What would that name be if it has one?
ASCII goes up to 128, and ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) up to 256, a single byte. If you wanted to replace this character, you might have to do so by splitting the 2 bytes it into 2 characters of 1 byte each: \xFF and \xFD. – Pysis – 2017-12-24T15:26:33.997
