I'm not sure there is such a thing as an "unknown" UTF8 character.
Leo is quite careful when pasting text from a clipboard. The relevant
methods are
LeoFrame.pasteText and its two helpers, qt_gui.getTextFromClipboard and
g.checkUnicode. The latter does a thorough check of the incoming text, and
warns if there are conversion errors.
It would be a serious bug in Leo if g.checkUnicode was flawed. By default,
which always applies when pasting, g.checkUnicode assumes utf-8 encoding.

With the Qt gui this does:
option.setFlags(QtGui.QTextOption.ShowTabsAndSpaces)
so, Leo is at the mercy of what Qt thinks is a space or tab.
