That's what it looks like, to me, just by what you've shown as your examples. Both techniques have been used by computers, over many years, and various computer systems, to indicate that there's a character that they can't currently display, perhaps because the font lacks any glyph drawn in it for that code, or that the text contains character references that went beyond the repertoire supported by the current encoding scheme (e.g. like trying to use character 240, which requires 8-bit data, in an encoding scheme that only used 7-bits). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.8-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 27 19:19:57 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
