I find this sort of behaviour on several websites as viewed in Firefox, often where a British pound sign should be. When I view the source in a tool to shows the hexadecimal value of the characters (okteta for example) I find that they are all group values greater than 0x7f, that is beyond the encoding scope of most character sets.I just assumed that the funny negative question mark is a way of saying "what the heck".
The characters that you sent were 0x4c 0xef 0xbf 0xbd 0x63 0x6b so I am not surprised that nothing much could be done with it.
