It's 8 question marks in a row. I don't know what you had expected.

Note that you have sent these header fields:

This announces 7-bit ASCII, cf. <http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso646.html>,
so your message cannot contain any other character.

I haven't tried Lotus Notes, so I cannot tell you how to persuade it
to send non-ASCII text (with proper headers, of course), or whether
this is possible at all.
