FFFD to say, a standard “e” and FFFD to a “.” or something to handle every noncompatible character automatically without requiring a separate executed line for each character possibility? I’m looking for an easier solution - like to take the character value and if it’s >128 then subtract some value from it to get a standardized alphanumeric character?
U+FFFD is already a “replacement character” which means whatever was there has been busted already by previous “conversion”, it’s displayed to indicate there was unpresentable character here.
