==Replacement character==
[[File:Replacement character.svg|180px|thumb|Replacement
The '''replacement character''' � (often displayed as a black [[rhombus]]
As an example, a text file encoded in [[ISO 8859-1]] containing the German word {{lang|de|für}} contains the bytes <code>0x66 0xFC 0x72</code>. If this file is opened with a text editor that assumes the input is [[UTF-8]], the first and third bytes are valid UTF-8 encodings of [[ASCII]], but the second byte (<code>0xFC</code>) is not valid in UTF-8. The text editor could replace this byte with the replacement character to produce a valid string of Unicode [[code point]]s for display, so the user sees "f�r".
