Proposed comment

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-bray-unichars/

replacing problematic code points, ideally with "�" (U+FFFD,
REPLACEMENT CHARACTER), although some popular software platforms,
notably Java, use "?".

This is probably incorrect. Java replaces with U+FFFD in most Unicode processing. Legacy encodings in Java use "?". There are other places, such as certain browsers, where "?" is used in a Unicode context.

Note that there exist common coders that use the control character U+001A as a replacement character for some legacy encodings.
