   I have thought a bit about this in the past but haven't thought of
a good solution. Some libraries (such as Python's) are able to convert
encodings with a fall back character (or similar) when they encounter
a character that can't be representable. It appears that iconv can't
do this. It would be reasonable for Scintilla to produce a
notification when charatcer set conversion fails. It is unlikely I
will work on this soon.
