But in my testing, I do see an "Invalid character" message.
Could you please show an example of using this new function to produce
this special ``character that couldn't be interpreted''?

This function is not about coding systems, it's about character sets.
Coding systems already replace unsupported characters with `?' (other
applications behave like that as well), so perhaps we should use some
more conventional character here.
Does anyone have an opinion?
