Follow-up Comment #1, task #11968 (project weechat):

� could be a nice symbol for replacing unknown chars. XChat is using it too.
But since it's Unicode char, and WeeChat user might not use Unicode, there
should be a configuration variable for changing it.

From GNOME Character Map:
> �
> 
> U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER

> C octal escaped UTF-8: 357277275
> XML decimal entity: �
