I can see their point. If you use 0xFFFD for DEFAULT_CHAR, then you
can't tell whether that glyph is being displayed because *you* didn't
have a *glyph* or because *Unicode* didn't have a *character* for
whatever the user is trying to display. 0x0000 seems more like a valid
control char to me. How about using 0xFFFF ("guaranteed not to be a
Unicode character at all") for X11's DEFAULT_CHAR?
