Can you show an example of a character displayed in different forms depending on buffer contents? I'd like to look what the code does and why.
In master on the Linux console in non-UTF-8 mode and with a unibyte en_US locale, if I run 'emacs -Q' and type 'C-x 8 RET 100 RET C-x 8 RET 200 RET' the screen looks like this:
\u0100\u0200If I then type 'C-x 8 RET 300 RET', the '\u0200' magically changes to '?' and another '?' is appended, so that the screen then looks like this:
\u0100??Presumably this is some sort of combining-character thing. However, if the intent is to present a combined character, shouldn't the character be displayed as a single '?', to better mimic the single glyph you'd see on an X display?
By the way, the '?'s look like ordinary question marks; they are not highlighted, as the \u0100 is. Shouldn't they be highlighted somehow? And while I have your ear, why is U+0700 SYRIAC END OF PARAGRAPH displayed as an ordinary '?' while U+0500 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER KOMI DE is displayed as a highlighted '\u0500'?
