[Weechat-dev] [task #11968] Add option for setting char which is used to replace unknown chars.

[Mika Suomalainen]

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.
