Hello Chris,

On Friday March 24 2023 01:42, you wrote to All:

 CJ> I deleted an ö Then I added the ö again.

The program that checks for ill formed UTF-8 sequences is triggered by the
first error in a line. The first character in error is replaced by a question
mark for the report. Any following errors in the same line are ingnored and
"passed as is" to the report.

The line in question is encoded in LATIN-1 and contains two non ASCII
characters. The first is represented by a '?'. How the second is displayed on
your screen depends on how your reader is configured. Some will display it as
garbage and others may be "smart" enough to interpret it as encoded in LATIN-1
and display it accordingly.


Cheers, Michiel
