Ah looks like a problem with MacOS’s whois utility when running "whois 142.248.40.0/22”. I just tried on another machine running Linux and the entry returned correctly this time.
I see your Geofeed remark and that definitely looks correct and UTF-8 so that all looks good. Thanks for the catch! I use that tool almost daily and this is the first time I’ve seen it not work properly.
