Make that U+10FFFD, of course.
Incidentally, in case anyone is interested, in the default table for
the Unicode Collation Algorithm, the character with the lowest primary
weight (other than zero, or variables set to be ignorable) is:
02D0 ; [.081F.0020.0002.02D0] # MODIFIER LETTER TRIANGULAR COLON
That is the value in the current table (inclusive of the Unicode 3.0.1
repertoire). In table which matches the current table under ballot
for ISO 14651, extending the repertoire to Unicode 3.1.0, the same
entry still has the lowest primary weight, but the absolute value
has changed to:
02D0 ; [.09D3.0020.0002.02D0] # MODIFIER LETTER TRIANGULAR COLON
