in theory you could escape any character \e\s\c\a\p\e

I did this, but at no avail. My thought now is that perhaps the ISO 8859-1 code for the replacement character should be searched for, but this is very much beyond my capacities.
Edit: In Wikipedia Specials (Unicode block) I found this: "... It has become increasingly common for software to interpret invalid UTF-8 by guessing the bytes are in another byte-based encoding such as ISO-8859-1."
