It's not random.

For every non ascii character, there is a corresponding �
at some variable offset from it.
I.E. whatever is processing the multibyte chars is messing up
and putting dodgy characters further on in the buffer.
Note 2 to 3 chars are consumed for each �, so it looks like these
dodgy characters are being interpreted again as UTF8 and
converted to the "replacement character" \uFFFD.

Pádraig.
