We should leave option C for those who want to write their own encoding modules. Whether we should use A or B depends on how iso-8859 (without trailing -number) is supposed to work, which I can be of little help beyond iso-8859-1. That reminds me of this this question. What is a (de jure|de facto) standard for fallback character? Is it up to each module? FYI My humble Jcode uses "blank square" (aka Tofu) and MacOS X uses single '?'.
