Completely off-topic, but is there a "high quality" transliteration of
Hanzi characters?
Would you have expected a phenome to be spelled out in ASCII?
I am not aware of any way to keep the meaning of the Hanzi characters in
ASCII, therefore you see the locales "default_missing" character U+003F '?'.
