The program that checks for ill formed UTF-8 sequences is triggered by the first error in a line. The first character in error is replaced by a question mark for the report. Any following errors in the same line are ingnored and "passed as is" to the report. The line in question is encoded in LATIN-1 and contains two non ASCII characters. The first is represented by a '?'. How the second is displayed on your screen depends on how your reader is configured. Some will display it as garbage and others may be "smart" enough to interpret it as encoded in LATIN-1 and display it accordingly.
