This depends on our UTF-8 decoding mechanism.
The '?' and the following character are interpreted as a single invalid
UTF-8 sequence, and thus are consumed as a single "invalid" sequence. We
could add a new flag for lazy decoding (starts from the second character
if the whole sequence is invalid, which seems the system used by the
terminal), or allow to set the text encoding.
